Hank Williams - Beyond The Sunset (Luke The Drifter)

Digitally remastered with additional tracks, Beyond The Sunset collects all the recordings Hank Williams made as his alter ego Luke the Drifter on one disc.

Mostly, these are recitations rather than songs and with a few exceptions, like the funny, anti-Stalin No, No Joe, they're either unrelentingly bleak and despairing (Men With Broken Hearts) or else cautionary tales (I've Been Down That Road Before) presenting the sort of hard-won advice that Williams could dish out, but obviously could not take himself.

Highlights include the now hopelessly politically incorrect but nonetheless heartfelt The Funeral, and Too Many Parties, a depressing one-act morality play.
