About "How Hank Felt"
Written by band member Garland Johnston Garland grew up listening to the songs of Hank Williams, Sr. This song is a tribute to Hank that grew out of a difficult time in Garland’s own life. His own heartbreak allowed him to truly understand the deep feelings that went into the songs that he references in “How Hank Felt,” songs that made Hank Williams such an icon in American Country music.
