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. COVER VERSIONS OF SONGS BY LUKE THE DRIFTER "Just Waitin'" was covered by The Fall in 1992. This is a true, but little-known fact about old Hank Sr. |
