George Hamilton IV - Mister Sincerity: A Tribute to Ernest Tubb - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A very nice country concept album, although the only surprising thing about it is that it took until 1992. A TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER collects several of Hank Williams Jr.'s interesting cover versions of his Dad's hits, including a Charlie Daniels-ish take on InchKaw-Liga,Inch and a convincingly bluesy InchMove it On Over.Inch

Digitally remastered from the country music legend containing his two most popular and best-selling albums. Canadian Pacific appears for the first time on CD. George's success was internationally widespread, with Canada, Europe and the British Isles all becoming regular stomping grounds - with the last, well and truly a second home. It was such activities that earned him the title International Ambassador of Country Music. The Abilene album was released in 1963. The title track reached #1 on the Billboard Country Singles charts remaining there for four weeks and staying on the charts for a total of 24 weeks. Canadian Pacific was released in 1969 and due to it's continuing popularity entered the UK album charts two years later in 1971.
