专辑介绍

by Greg Adams

Floyd Cramer remembers the melodies but not the words or honky tonk style of Hank Williams on this 1962 instrumental tribute album. Cramer recasts a dozen of Williams' original songs as upbeat pop instrumentals with strings, a vocal chorus, and Cramer's characteristic &slip-note& piano leads. &Kaw-Liga& is especially interesting to hear in this context because it has such a monotonous, minor-key melody to begin with -- not one that would intuitively lend itself to an instrumental treatment. Cramer switches to an electric piano with a heavy tremolo effect for &Alone and Forsaken,& his only such departure. The album was produced by Chet Atkins and is exemplary of the Nashville sound with its lush, pop orchestration, snappy &tic-tac& electric bass, and impossibly precise playing. Significantly, Cramer's conception of &Lovesick Blues& was a pop hit but not a country one. The liner notes, written by Cramer, briefly share his memories of working with Williams. Despite Cramer's country pedigree, I Remember Hank Williams is more of a pop adaptation of Williams' work.
