Recorded & mixed at Sound Emporium, Nashville. Track recorded Nov. 5, 1996 - 2PM. Vocals recorded Dec. 17, 1996 - 8PM.

"I first heard 'Hooked On Honky Tonk' performed by the writer Wylie Gustafson (who goes by an easier name to remember, 'Wylie & The Wild West Show') at a club on lower Broadway in Nashville. Bill Millet wanted me to record it. Although I had done some similar type material before, I did not feel I could render a suitable job with it. Bill said, 'what if Brooks & Dunn helped you out on it?' I said, 'now that would be a different story!' What I didn't know at the time was that Ronnie (Dunn) and Kix (Brooks) had already selected 'Hooked On Honky Tonk' to sing with me on this record, out of several songs Bill had sent to them for consideration. Ronnie and Kix came to the recording session direct from a stint in Las Vegas, and spent over three hours on that song - what hard workers and perfectionists! No wonder they're the premier stars of today's Country Music. And what a privilege to record with such nice and talented people." - Hank Thompson... July 1997 | | Appears On | |
