Hank III - D. Ray White

D. Ray White was widely thought to be the best mountain dancer in America before his murder in 1985. He's still a legend in Boone County, West Virginia and beyond. His son, Jesco White, is the Dancing Outlaw.
This is a two-fer in case you want to listen twice.

[@larrycortner2210]

Hank the 3rd is the real deal,he could have fell in line with the rest of the crap their calling country but him and his band stay true to what country music suppose to sound like .I think Hank would be proud that he is making his on path and standing up for real country music and hank senior.

[@theinketwolfdagonlair5401]

that punk rock stuff he sings aint country ol hank wouldnt be proud of that

[@kimkinell4926]
