Description:
Released in 1978 on Boxcar Willie’s own label, Sings Hank Williams & Jimmie Rodgers reflects his dedication to the roots of American country music. Known as the “King of the Hoboes,” Boxcar Willie (Lecil Travis Martin) built his career performing at truck stops, county fairs, and eventually the Grand Ole Opry, embodying an old-time rail-rider persona that resonated with working-class audiences. This album linked him directly to two of country’s foundational figures, Williams and Rodgers, at a time when Nashville was leaning toward slicker productions. For music lovers, it captures a grassroots artist keeping Depression-era and honky-tonk traditions alive on the margins of mainstream country.
