CD - Hank Penny - Crazy Rhythm

Hank Penny Should Be A Household Name. But The Reason He Isn't Is The Same Reason That This Latest Release Cooks: Attitude. Seems Hank Wouldn't Take Shit From Anybody. As A Result, He Burned A Lot Of Bridges And Missed More Than A Few Opportunites To Further His Career. He Started His First Band, The Radio Cowboys In 1935 And Later Became A Regular On The Boone County Jamboree Out Of Cincinatti. He Acted In A Couple Of Westerns, Yukked It Up On Spade Cooley's Tv Show In The 40's, Dj'd Here And There Across California And Kansas, And Tore The Place Up In Clubs Across The Country From The 30's To The 70's. Crazy Rhythm Brings Together 30 Songs Recorded For The Standard Transcription Service In 1951 And Never Released Comercially Until Now. You Get Hank's Signature Tune "Little Red Wagon," Along With A Grab Bag Of Dancehall Western Swing, Proto-Rockabilly And A Few Ballads And Novelty Tunes Thrown In For Good Measure. Although He Never Achieved The Fame He Deserved, Hank's Music Remains As A Dazzling Example Of One Of Country Music's Unheralded Greats.
