Bill Nash only sings great notes.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 25, 2024) — Veteran hit country singer-songwriter, Bill Nash, and his son, Jimmy Nash, are thrilled to announce a new five-song tribute EP – Oh Hank – honoring the musical legacy and artistic style of Hank Williams Sr. The first single from the EP, “Locked In Your Lovin’ Arms” [pre-save here], written & produced by Jimmy, and sung by Bill, is set for digital release on March 21, with the full EP becoming available everywhere digitally on Friday, June 6th by Cloverdale Music.
“Why a Hank Williams tribute?” Bill asks. “Well, it’s not just ‘cause Hank is one of the all-time greatest country singers and songwriters. And it’s certainly not because I didn’t think enough people had ever covered his music. It’s because of what his music means to me, personally.”
Bill’s son, Jimmy Nash, has both songwriter and producer credits on the EP, along with Producer Kenny Royster (Luke Combs, Trace Adkins, Craig Morgan), recording at his Direct Image Recording Studio just blocks away from Broadway in Nashville.
Nash will also be taping his first two music videos ever to support the project, including the two songs written within the Nash family, “Locked In Your Lovin’ Arms,” and the title track, “Oh Hank.” Media is encouraged to reach out to jwa@jwamedia.com for a screener request of the videos prior to their release dates for premiere opportunities.
“Hank Williams songs were the first songs I sang as a young, aspiring singer-songwriter,” Nash recalled. “Little did I know that those Hank songs would be the start of my Country career, that led me to Houston, and then Nashville, and on to 5 major labels, and a lifetime in music. This EP of songs tributing Hank’s timeless style was a labor of love.”

- I Can’t Help It (Hank Williams)
- Oh Hank (Bill Nash, Kim Nash, Jimmy Nash, Don Goodman)
- I Saw The Light (Hank Williams)
