Progressive hybrid of hard 60′s Nashville and early country blues. Sad songs, bad songs, death songs, love songs, get-lost songs, come-back songs, weird songs…mostly in the downtown club / pub / cafe / event scene in Tucson. Acoustic, sometimes electric, nobody knows when. Will and do travel.
Let’s see…a little local radio and TV…sat in with the great Les Paul (October, 2005)…had breakfast at 1AM with the inimitable Kinky Friedman…was the diva Linda Ronstadt’s gardener. Seasoned entertainer with an appetite for risk. Moody, mercurial, shoots too much from the hip, whatever. Big deal.

Some Kind Words
“…a stunning debut disc from a singer who should have been doing this decades ago…I’d be very surprised if this isn’t one of my CD’s of the year.”- Paul Riley, Country Music People
“Singer/guitarist Hank Topless revels in reptile-booted, over-the-top country singer fashion…some of the best honky-tonk and classic country tunes ever penned and some damn-well written originals too…one of the sweetest country voices in Arizona, possibly the Southwest.”- Tucson Underground
“Topless plays classic country, with some blues around the edges, with skilled guitar playing and a rich voice that rings with a bit of Willie Nelson.”- Eric Swedlund, Zocalo
