Hank Williams as Luke the Drifter

Hank Williams as Luke the Drifter is an LP by Hank Williams released by MGM Records in 1954. It features narrations that Williams released under the pseudonym Luke the Drifter.
==Background==
Spoken word, moralistic narrations and talking blues had always been a tradition in country music and were still commercially viable in the late 1940s; T. Texas Tyler's narration of "Deck of Cards" became one of the best selling records of 1948. Still, Williams' producer Fred Rose remained dubious:
:"Rose's objection was rooted in commercial logic: jukebox operators had huge standing orders for Hank Williams records and, if the recitations were issued under Hank's name, the operators would complain. Virtually all of the operators serviced bars, and the last thing they needed was for someone to punch up a Hank Williams record and get a sermon."
Rose and Williams settled on the pseudonym "Luke the Drifter." No attempt was made to hide the fact that Hank was Luke the Drifter, and the singer would play along; on his radio shows he would say, "And here's a number by one of my closest relatives, Luke the Drifter,' or he'd say, "Here's one by my half brother." Williams' insistence on doing the material, which he must have known would not result in hits, speaks to his artistry; in the episode of ''American Masters'' dedicated to the singer, his grandson Hank Williams III states, "While Hank was at the peak of his career, he had another side to him that he wanted to get out, and that side was called Luke the Drifter. And a lot of people didn't understand the Luke the Drifter side. That's a dark side, man." In the same documentary, songwriter Danny Dill confirms, "He was fascinated by the dark side of life." Luke the Drifter became a kind of alter ego for Williams, with country music historian Colin Escott observing in his essay for the 2001 Polygram album ''Hank Williams as Luke the Drifter: Beyond the Sunset'', "If Hank could be headstrong and willful, a backslider and a reprobate, then Luke the Drifter was compassionate and moralistic, capable of dispensing all the wisdom that Hank Williams ignored."
