This afternoon I picked up this and half a dozen other really groovy albums at Community Thrift at 17th and Valencia. (Esther Phillips singing "Native New Yorker"!) Although it has some great tunes, I must admit the cover of this Hank Thompson album is what made me think it was worth investing $1.50. Is it just me, or do you think in this photo Hank looks a little...?
Well, and Hank sounds a little, too. Make sure to listen to "Humpty Dumpty Heart" one of these days. I also have a compilation with a picture of really young Hank; he looks like Sean Hayes.
Location: San Francisco, California, United States
JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.

Rich - I sort of thought "Wow, Sean Hayes cut a country album!" when I first saw this. But then Sean butched it up to play Jerry Lewis...er, not.
Was "Humpty Dumpty Heart" a precursor to "Achey Breaky Heart"?
While searching for a fitting picture of young Hank yesterday, I found one on this blog you may enjoy:

Seems to have the same love of cultural ephemera that you, I and pretty much all the people we talk to have.
Rich - Great tip on that blog. We seem to all be cut from the same wacky cloth.
...swishy in his satin and tat?
In his cowboy shirt and bibbity bobbedy hat?
