HANK BEACHâ¦..A Country Poet


Hank Beach is not the first country music personality to come out of Kentucky (Loretta Lynn)--and, of course, heâs not the first âHankâ to record for MGM Records (Hank Williams)--but, the similarity doesnât just stop there. For Hank Beach got into the business of country music by writing a song that Loretta Lynn recorded, âJourney To The End Of My World,â and he possesses the same unique qualities of writing and singing that MGMâs first Hank had.

Hank Beach was born in a place called âRabbit Hill,â Kentucky, which is right below âPilot Knobâ--and if that still donât ring a bell, not too far from Bowling Green!!!!!! Like every country boy thereabouts, Hank learned to pick and grin at an early age, and even though just an hour drive from Nashville, Tennessee--âThe Country Music Capital Of The Worldâ--Hank literally traveled around the world before trying his skills in Nashville. He sang in hundreds of Honky-Tonks and served many years in the United States Air Force that took him all over the world. Hank is now in the process of writing his life story in a book entitled, from âRABBITHILL to NASHVILLE.â Hank has been in country music all his life, with 45 years on music row. If you want to know the truth about the music business, be sure to get yourself a copy of his book when it becomes available.

While on duty with the Air Force, Hank was a top country D.J. for AFRTS (Armed Forces Radio & Television Service) where he performed the duties as host and engineer on âSTICKBUDDY JAMBOREEâ and âCOUNTRY HOEDOWN.â Hank was also an announcer and engineer for the Network. He wrote, directed and hosted, a one hour documentary, the âHANK WILLIAMS STORY,â for the Network, telling about Williamâs life in words and songs. He received several awards, citations and commendations for his work. Hank and his band, âTHE DRIFTERS,â performed live on the AFRTSâs Radio and Television Network and was master of ceremony on numerous variety-type presentations.

It was this vast experience of life that caused Hank to put down his thoughts in lyrics on café napkins or in ten-cent notebooksâ¦that eventually brought him to Nashville to be a writer. In doing so, he wrote and recorded his own songs on demonstration sessions for many of Nashvilleâs leading publishers. It wasnât long before Hank Beach found himself with an MGM recording contract, and his first self-penned release, âYour Warm Love,â coming off the press.

Hank has since written songs that were recorded by some of the worlds greatest artists, Shania Twain, Tom Jones, Loretta Lynn, Gary Stewart, Vassar Clements, Sharmian, Warner Mack, George Riddles, and even a Rock-Star called the âUnknown Artist,â recorded one of Hankâs country songs. Hank managed to publish most of these songs in his own publishing company, âSTICKBUDDY MUSIC.â

And how has all this success in Country Music affected this Kentucky country boy? Itâs obvious from his easy-going grin that heâs most thankful, but he remains a good-humored, sincere artist and song writer from Rabbit Hill, Kentucky.

A Country News writer, Jimmy Helm, made this remark in his column at the beginning of Hankâs career in Nashville. âHank has paid his dues in full and is ready for a brilliant career in country music, and once you hear the sincerity in his voice and songs, youâll have to agree that country music is ready for another Hank!â
