I recently heard an older, dustier sounding version of 'Good Year For The Roses' on a compilation that although poorer in sound quality was absolutely beautiful. I'd have loved to have heard him singing it live in his prime.What a timeless song.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757398021270225218.post-33592154528862888872008-04-13T10:37:00.000-04:002008-04-13T10:37:00.000-04:00Thanks for a great post.

(In my defense, I was 16 or 17.) That was the beginning of my love for Hank's music, and really for country music in general. So in a sense I owe it all to this album.<BR/><BR/>MarcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757398021270225218.post-13424765866002951532008-04-13T10:34:00.000-04:002008-04-13T10:34:00.000-04:00Great blog.

This was an under-appreciated gem at the time, sounds better even today. He continues to work the country music genre with recent collaborations with EmmyLou and there are rumors of a Coward Brothers reunion. Check out the version of "Wild Horses" he does with Lucinda Williams, I think it's his best vocal performance ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
