Hank

*Hank Thomas*

*Hank is a winning name in Nashville country music so he is half way there
already. He has placed high in all my Sonicbids competitions, and when he
wins I am going to buy a cowboy hat and learn to yoddle :)*

*Hank Thomas & Silent Thunder have consistently submitted better country
songs than I get from Nashville. Check him out.*

*Gary Allen, BMI*
Born and raised in the hills of Eastern Connecticut (yep), and weaned on the early "Hanks" (Williams, Snow, etc.) , this songwrter was exposed to 'Country/Western' music from the day he was born. His dad, Flip, was of master of the guitar and tried his best to pass it on to Hank.

Of course, then came the Beatles and everything changed. Rock and Roll bands ensued for a while and his life as a bass player seemed on course. But it was when Hank discovered Southern Rock in the early 70's, that his main influences came into play. Charlie Daniels, The Allman Brothers, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, etc. all changed his view of music and the way it should be done.

Hank's compositions include straight Country, Country/Rock, Southern/Rock, Blues and even a little Bluegrass. There are nearly 80 songs in his pocket, currently around 70 in the can. If you are looking to hear quality lyrics, great stories and good humor, all sung by a songwriter (and you know what that can mean), then you've come to the right place.

Stop back from time to time, as more music will be added on a regular basis.

Hi Hank,
Warren pointed me at your song Hard Times In America 2022, and he was right to do so. So many share your sentiments I know and for those who don't, perhaps it's time they did?
Well done sir.
Bob
