  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).
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.
It is quite likely that some people never established the connection and realized that "Luke the Drifter" and "Hank Williams" were actually the same person, although devoted fans were certainly aware of this.

 Locust St.
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 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.

There's little question that Dierks Bentley has good taste, as well as a burning desire to be part of the tradition of rough, rugged, and sensitive hard country singers.
In particular, he styles himself after Merle and Waylon, two influences that were apparent on his eponymous 2003 debut but come to the forefront on his 2005 follow-up, Modern Day Drifter.
Instead of being a true ramblin' man and forging his own direction, he follows the path that Merle and Waylon created, never stamping it with much of his own personality.
