singer with Tucson roots. Hank's new cowboy CD "Way Out West"
has been nominated by the Western Music Association as
Traditional Album of The Year, and the song "My Sweet Wyoming
Home" was named to the Top Five Cowboy Songs of 2007 by
Heartland Public Radio. Joining Hank is Mark Iler, an
accomplished harmonica player, tenor guitarist, and harmony
singer from Washington state.
