This one's for the cowboys! Steve and Wheels look back on one of the biggest records of the late 50s and early 60s Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs by Marty Robbins. Take a trip back in time with one of the best story song records in the history of western music!

The guys review Dale Watson's El Rancho Azul which was arguably the the honkiest tonkiest album of his career up to that point. Join us to see what happens when a true original cuts some of his best songs at his good friend Willie Nelson's Pedernales studio and helps to start a genre of music in the process!

The guys review Ray Charles 1962 album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music and discuss it's impact and their love for concept albums. Writer Daniel Cooper states, "There is no telling how many people, who perhaps never paid much attention to country music or even had professed to dislike it, listened anew based on the impact of having heard what Ray Charles was capable of doing with that music." Discover one of the best of all time doing country music as only he can on this episode of I Drank With Hank!

On this episode the guys dive into the magnificiant live record from 1976
We've Got A Live One Here by the progressive country pioneers Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen!
