Howdy all,
This week I added Joey Allcorn to the Taproot Radio rotation. The man has mastered the orignal Hank Williams sound like no one else’s business while still keeping that alt.country vibe going. I like to think of him as Hank IIIa!
His latest CD is Born 50 Years Too Late. Check him out live if you ever get the chance!
Enjoy!
Calvin
