Washboard Hank - "That'll Learn Ya', Dern Ya'"

Washboard Hank - "That'll Learn Ya', Dern Ya'"

Hank heard "That'll Learn Ya Dern Ya" on an old Rose Maddox 78 he had acquired. Rose Maddox and the Maddox Brothers are the single greatest influence on Washboard Hank, their wild playing wild costumes and total full tilt hilarity made them a huge live success in the 1940s and 1950s all through California. Hank and Sweet Muriel try their best to bring some of this wild craziness to this hillbilly ditty. The intro is pure Maddox Bros and Rose and making it a duet has truly transformed " That'll Learn Ya Dern Ya" into an argument set to music.-

To call Washboard Hank a legend kinds implies he's been there and done that but really that is not true. He is still doing it and currently is at the top of his game. His live shows are indeed legendary because they hit home on so many emotional levels (think Johnny Cash meets Stomping' Tom meets Spike Jonz} that it is impossible not to be moved by the man's ability to communicate and entertain his audience while delivering some powerful messages, often hilariously, and in some cases stinging indictments of what we as a species are doing to our planet. -Andrei Talbot, Walk Tall Brand design & Music Promotion
