On September 21, we celebrate the music of Hank Williams, with the release of a new 2CD set, The Songs of Hank Williams: a compilation of Northern California musicians. The CD is a fundraiser for KRCB-FM, Sonoma County’s NPR affiliate. Hank would have turned 96 on September 17, and plays a big role in the upcoming PBS series, Country Music by Ken Burns. Ken calls Hank the “Hillbilly Shakespeare”.
For the Mystic show, we have an all-star backing band, The Driftin’ Cowpokes, that will be led by Kevin Russell and features Rick Cutler on drums, Markie Sanders on bass, Paul Shelasky on fiddle, Henry Nagle on pedal steel. Performances from CD song contributors include:
The Pulsators Timothy O’Neil Dave Hamilton Nell Robinson and Jim Nunally Jim Corbett Dirty Cello Solid Air Doug Jayne Ring of Truth Trio 3 Acre Holler Sarah Baker Paul Riley Steve Pile Heartwood Crossing Jeff Falconer Buzzy Martin Bobby Lee Easy Leaves Duo Michael Stadler Doug Blumer & Nancy Irish Joanne Rand
