Thursday Music: Floyd Cramer

No one can mistake the piano of Floyd Cramer. He worked in the studio with Patsy Cline, Elvis, Statler Brothers and hundreds of other artist, but was a major solo star in the 1960's. There is no mistaking his classic sound, even when his name is not n the record label.

Thursday Music: Hank Williams

From 1949 to 1953, Hank had 34 consecutive hit singles - 32 hitting the top ten and 11 going to number 1. His songs of "drinking, living, and praying" were never before heard of themes. His troubled and turbulent life was intimately reflected in his music. Hank was only 29 when he died but his legacy as the king of country music lives on.
