Running late this morning. Our third Hank of the week is Hank Thompson (1925-2007). He was born Henry William Thompson in Waco, Texas. He sold over 60 million records and his band, The Brazos Valley Boys, was voted the #1 Country and Western band 14 years in a row. He has been inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Thompson's music is widely availabe; you might want to start with his Vintage Collection.
He had a series of hits based on nursery rhymes. Here's one of them: Rub-Adub-Dub
