| | Luke the Drifter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Luke the Drifter was a name used by Hank Williams for a persona he developed to record recitations (often called "talking songs" by country music fans). | | | Cover versions of songs by Luke the Drifter | | | One apparent reason for this was to prevent confusion by fans who might think they were getting a traditional song if they had purchased the same record under the "Hank Williams" artist name; it soon became known that all "Luke the Drifter" recordings were recitations, as Williams never recorded traditional songs under that name. |

| | The Luke the Drifter songs were meant to be the rebuke to Williams' rambunctious songs, the Sunday sermons to match his Saturday night juke-joint records. | | | The Drifter crops up during Bob Dylan and the Band's Basement Tapes' recordings in 1967 (they would cover a Drifter song, "Stones That You Throw", during the sessions), and is a major presence in Dylan's John Wesley Harding, released later the same year. | | | On January 10, 1950, Williams went into Castle Studio in Nashville and recorded four songs that were released as singles under a pseudonym, "Luke the Drifter." The songs were moralistic little fables, sung-spoken by Williams, often over organ accompaniment. |

| | The Lonesome Drifter |
| | The Drifter recalls on the first release from Ram: I had been to Mira Smith's studio to record and she asked me what name I wanted on the record, I did not want to use my real name. | | | The Drifter an established hillbilly performer, got word of a new recording company, Ram Records, that has just opened for business in Shreveport, seventy miles from his home in Monroe, Louisiana. | | | As I was driving back to Monroe, I thought about one of my idols, Hank Williams, and he had made records as "Luke The Drifter". |

| | Every one of his records charted, except for those issued as Luke the Drifter and his religious duets with Audrey. | | | There were never any serious attempts to hide the identity of Luke the Drifter; it was simply a ploy to avoid jukebox distributors ordering unsuitable records. | | | His songs, which had matured greatly since the demos he had submitted to Molly O’Day, began finding a wider market than his own recordings of them ever could. |

| | Hank Williams - Lovesick blues 3cd box set |
| | Hank Williams' songs articulated the lives and loves of his listeners and he went a stage further by recording melodramatic monologues as Luke The Drifter. | | | Country songs had been recorded by pop performers before Williams, but Rose aggressively sought cover versions. | | | His lifestyle was akin to the later spirit of rock'n'roll; he drank too much, took drugs (admittedly, excessive numbers of painkillers for his back), played with guns, destroyed hotel rooms, threw money out of windows and permanently lived in conflict. |

| | But the comments about missing Luke the Drifter music is certainly valid. | | | I agree with the comments that this is a wonderful and almost complete set. | | | This three-CD, 84-song indoctrination to The Basic Hank may not actually offer all of Hank's singles (it's missing most of his Luke the Drifter tunes, and his duets with Audrey), but it goes a long way to explain why Williams was country's first big legend and a superstar by 25. |

| | TrouserPress.com :: Lenny Kaye Connection |
| | The title track is brilliant pop with an infectious hook and anthemic sound; "Luke the Drifter" is a memorable old-fashioned cowboy ballad updated with a pumping rock beat. | | | Kaye may fumble a few lyrics in an attempt to express schmaltzy emotions, but his obvious sincerity makes up for the occasional prosaic excess. |

| | St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Hank Williams, Sr. |
| | During this period, Williams began recording religious material (both music and recitations) under the name Luke the Drifter, and he managed to keep his drinking and womanizing in check. | | | Though not all of his hit records were his own compositions, many of his best known works are ones he wrote, and many of them seem to have an autobiographical bent. | | | From 1949 through 1953, Williams scored 27 top ten hits. |
