What style works good for Hank Williams types of tunes ?

Post by Larry Lenhart »

I was wondering what styles you guys use for Hank Williams tunes like Cold, Cold Heart, You Win Again. I have tried several and none of them sound that good to me. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Haggard c1 Honky Tonk works great for all of Hanks songs,Just adjust the tempo to suit the song.I have almost 30 of Hanks tunes done using this style
hope it works for you.

My BIAB is at least six years old and it has the HANK style. It's not the basic version though. I think it has some of the optional styles.

you should have the Hank style that Doug mentions. It first came out in BIAB in 2002 and the c_hagard stle made it's first appearance on Style disc 26.

I still use BIAB 2008.5 PlusPak and have both styles in it.

You can check fot them if you open Windows Explorer and click on the main BIAB dir. on your C drive, Usually named bb.
Then, look for C_HAGARD.STY and C_HANK.STY in that main bb directory.

You will not find those styles in Real Tracks format if that is where you are looking, they are "midi"... 8)
