	Hank Thompson Six Pack To Go CD
		Like many of the albums Thompson recorded in the late '50s, Capitol assembled this one along a thematic line, with bars and drinking at the center of every song.
		Thompson's Western Swing is equally at home on the two-stepping "Honky Tonk Town" as it is on the polkas "Beer Barrel Polka" and "Bartender's Polka." His voice is warm and surprisingly upbeat given the tenor of the material.
		Most of Thompson's original theme albums remain out of print (e.g., "Songs for Rounders"), but lucky for us, Capitol did a fine job of assembling this one, and Sundazed has returned it to domestic print.

	Hank Thompson is back, December 1997
		Thompson speaks in glowing terms of the artists with whom he recorded, not all of whom made the final album, unfortunately.
		The new album is, however, prime-cut Hank Thompson; as reminiscent of his Capitol recordings as anything he's recorded since he left the label in September 1964.
		Thompson, elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1989, is more fortunate than many other country artists of his generation inasmuch as his catalog is comparatively well-represented by reissues on Capitol, MCA, Varese, Curb, Bear Family and other labels.

	Amazon.ca: Reviews for Seven Decades: Music: Hank Thompson (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With that unabashed admission from this Thompson fan of thirty years, I can get on to my thoughts on "Seven Decades." My thirty years are just over half of this astounding legend's 54-year recording career, leading me to disbelieve anyone can sound this good at 74.
		Hank's selection of music for this CD illuminates all the corners of this man's wonderful career, but much of the material is "New Wine" to his followers.
		Thompson has the same drive (and ability) to make great music that he had for his first session in 1947.

		For those of you who don't know who Hank Thompson is, this is a great chance to get to know this CMA Hall of Famer.
		The album opens with a rendition of the classic Thompson song "Six Pack to Go." Thompson is accompanied on this number by Vince Gill, who lends a high and lonesome sound that adds dimension to this, one of my personal favorite songs by this Texas songwriter.

	Biography Of Hank Thompson
		Hank Thompson was perhaps the most popular Western swing musician of the '50s and '60s, keeping the style alive with a top-notch band, tremendous showmanship, and a versatility that allowed him to expand his repertoire into romantic ballads and hardcore honky tonk numbers.
		He began learning harmonica and guitar as a child, and appeared in local talent shows as a teenager, which eventually led to his own local radio program (billed as Hank the Hired Hand).
		Toward the end of the '50s, Thompson began to create LPs that were more cohesive than just mere collections of singles plus filler; 1958's Dance Ranch and 1959's Songs for Rounders were Western swing/honky tonk masterpieces, especially the latter, which stirred up controversy with its groundbreakingly adult (some said decadent) lyrical content.
