Friday, Oct 4, 2019 - Chuck Hawthorne

The road that led Chuck to (The Luckt Penny) started on a cattle ranch in Amarillo and spanned the globe over 21 years of military service. Chuck developed his voice as a songwriter riding the Texas plains with his cowboy heroes Clifton Lowe and Alvin Hamrick, sailing the Adriatic sea and picking guitar aboard the USS Iwo Jima, writing Post 2 Gate in the basement of a Baghdad palace, and while experiencing the stories of the people he came to know in his hometown, his numerous deployments, and points in between.

"I figured Chuck Hawthorne was the right stuff when I saw him shut down a crowd of rowdies one night with just him and a guitar.  He plays it, writes it, and sings it.  Listening to this collection confirms it.  The right stuff - rare, not easy to come by, can't be faked."  Richard Dobson
