Search - The The :: Hanky Panky

An outstanding interpretation of an excellent song writer

"To many "covers" of Hank's songs have been done by Country stars in an attempt to reveal their songcraft but never make the song their own. THE THE does this and more. The interpretations of Hank songs, some familiar, some not, make for excellent listening. Hanky Panky engages the listener into appreciating not only the root source of the music but it's impacts on Matt's arrangements and the feelings he has for the songs. Hank may be considered Country but few Country stars make the transition to a song writer of classic stature and THE THE does justice to him. I can only hope that future THE THE interpretations are this gutsy and true to the source as Hanky Panky. For those who appreciate music and good music this is an excellent album to have in one's collection."

"Not a country fan but this CD is awesome. It made me want to learn more about Hank Sr. Matt Johnson can hit you in the heart better than any other artist... Also, DUSK is one of my top five favorite CDs, with the brilliant guitar work of Johnny Marr. Get them both!!
