At long last, the boys cover Hank Williams Sr., the "Hillbilly Shakespeare" himself. This week Danny and Tyler are joined by Greg Hess (@heygreghess, MEGA Podcast, Live from Here, Improvised Shakespeare) to discuss Hank Williams' final recorded song before his untimely passing. Is "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive" dark comedy country? A knowing farewell? Straight up cursed? Or perhaps one of the most Buddhist country songs ever recorded? All of the above? We dig in to find out, plus we talk about a lot of other fun stuff, including (but not limited to) our theories on the evolution of pop country, ideal child names, and Hoobastank. This is a real fun one!
You've probably heard "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Move It On Over" just from being alive and in the world, but we have a few other Hank Sr. recommendations for you!
