Foot fault

The music couldn’t be any more real and from the heart, but MGM’s art department seemed to be okay with pasting a cut-out of Hank Williams (and his dog?) on generic country background. And not well – notice that his foot doesn’t seem to be resting on anything.

Smoke smoke smoke those cigarettes

Tex Williams’ “Smoke Smoke Smoke” (that cigarette) was a hit in 1947 and a juke box standard in bars thereafter. This Capitol lp from the sixties is a collection of Williams’ songs. Fyi, Tex was from Illinois. But what a cool photo. I imagine him with three beers in the other hand.
