Today we mark the 70th anniversary of Hank Williams' debut on the Grand Ole Opry with the release of the first episode of Joey Allcorn's "Honky Tonk History" podcast. This episode takes a look at the bizarre history of the song "Lovesick Blues" and examines how the song made Hank Williams a superstar and brought him to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.

After a five year hiatus, Joey Allcorn is back this summer with "State of Heartbreak." A five song EP that is something of a love letter to the West Coast / Bakersfield style of country music. Recorded, mixed and mastered over the course of five days in Nashville, Tennessee, Allcorn is planning to release two or three of these EP's on CD and streaming platforms a year with a vinyl release to follow each winter. "It's an effort to go back to how they used to record and get music out back in the '50's," Allcorn says. "Those guys would go in and cut four songs per session and had a steady stream of releases throughout the year. That model makes more sense these days because streaming is the primary way people listen to music now. So it doesn't make sense to release 10-12 song albums every 2-3 years anymore. It's all about staying current, just like it was back then. So going forward all my independent releases will be done in an EP format, two to three times a year." 

Look for an official release date for "State of Heartbreak" in the coming weeks!

Here is our new t-shirt for May! Based on lyrics from the song “I Just Don’t Know” from the album “50 Years Too Late”. This shirt is available from our store here on the official website. “I Just Don’t Know” was the first song I ever had promoted to any kind of radio. It was first released on a compilation album called “The United State of Americana: Volume 2” that was put out by ShutEye Records in Atlanta, GA. Thanks again to ShredBeard Graphics for the design!
