Chanteur
Country US né Hebert Clayton Penny, le 18 Septembre 1918 à
Birmingham (Alabama). Hank Penny a débuté au milieu des années trente. En 1936, Hank fonde les "Radio Cowboys" et enregistre son premier disque en 1938 chez Columbia. Puis il passe chez King (45-50), RCA (50-52) et Decca (54-57). Hank est devenu comédien.
Il est décédé le 17 Avril 1992.
While he
never achieved the kind of success enjoyed by fellow bandleaders like
Bob Wills or
Spade Cooley, during the late '40s and early '50s
Hank Penny ranked as one of the foremost practitioners of the Western swing
sound. Born Herbert Clayton Penny on September 18, 1918, in Birmingham, AL, his
father was a disabled coal miner who inspired young Hank with his skills as a
guitarist, poet, and magician before his death in 1928. By the age of 15, Penny
was performing professionally on local radio; in 1936, he moved to New Orleans,
where he first fell under the sway of Western swing pioneers like
Wills and
Milton Brown. A friendship with steel virtuoso
Noel Boggs only served to further his enthusiasm for the swing form.
After a few years with New Orleans' WWL as a solo performer, Penny returned to
Birmingham, where he formed the group the Radio Cowboys, which featured
guitarist Julian Akins, steel guitarist Sammy Forsmark, tenor banjo player Louis
Damont, bassist Carl Stewart, and vocalist, guitarist, and fiddler Sheldon
Bennett. In 1938, the group (minus Akins) first entered the studio under the
guidance of legendary producer Art Satherly to record numbers like "When I Take
My Sugar to Tea" and Penny's own "Flamin' Mamie." After the Radio Cowboys joined
the cast of the Atlanta-based program Crossroad Follies, Forsmark left the
group, to be replaced by
Noel Boggs; at the same time, they also welcomed a new fiddle player by the
name of Boudleaux Bryant.
After turning down offers to take over vocal chores for both
Pee Wee King's Golden West Cowboys and
the Light Crust Doughboys, Penny moved the group to Nashville in 1939, where
they again recorded with Satherley. Shortly after,
Boggs left the group to join
Jimmy Wakely and was replaced by Eddie Duncan. After recording songs like
"Tobacco State Swing" and "Peach Tree Shuffle" in Chicago in mid-1940, the band
was forced to dissolve after most of its members were drafted. Penny remained in
Chicago working as a disc jockey before assembling a new group for a 1941
session in North Carolina, which generated the songs "Why Did I Cry" and "Lonesome
Train Blues."
After signing on with the Cincinnati station WLW's programs Boone Country
Jamboree and the Midwestern Hayride, Penny formed a new band called the
Plantation Boys, which included Radio Cowboy Carl Stewart on fiddle along with
guitarist/bassist Louis Innis, fiddler Zed Tennis, and lead guitarist Roy
Langham. In addition to work with
the Delmore Brothers,
Merle Travis,
Bradley Kincaid, and
Grandpa Jones, they also backed WLW's pop singer Doris Day. After the
departure of Langham, in 1944 the band toured with the USO before
Penny traveled to California at the urging of
Travis. There, he became enamored with the music of
Spade Cooley and met
Cooley's onetime manager Foreman Phillips, who offered Penny work as a
bandleader. After a brief return to Cincinnati which led to a brief recording
date, Penny returned to California to assemble another band which included Boggs;
however, when Phillips began ordering Penny how to play, the bandleader balked
and the group promptly disbanded.
Soon, he was fronting an all-girl band at a Los Angeles club but was quickly
approached by Bobbie Bennett,
Cooley's then-manager, to lead one of several groups formed to play at the
bookings
Cooley and his orchestra were themselves too busy to fulfill. While
Tex Ritter led one band and
Travis led another, Penny fronted the Painted Post Rangers, which scored a
pair of significant chart hits with "Steel Guitar Stomp" and "Get Yourself a
Redhead." When the Painted Post Club went bankrupt, he moved to lead the large
house band at the Riverside Rancho. In 1946, he joined Slim Duncan's ABC network
show Roundup Time as a comedian. After moving first back to Cincinnati and then
to Arlington, VA, he returned to California and took a disc jockey position. He
also formed yet another new band, the Penny Serenaders, which included guitarist
Speedy West as well as accordion player Bud Sievert, fiddler Billy Hill, and
bassist Hank Caldwell. Together with club owner Amand Gautier, Penny also opened
his own dancehall, which featured Bob Wills
on its opening night.
In June 1948, Penny joined
Cooley's massively popular television program, where he performed as a
comedian best known for his backwoods character "That Plain Ol' Country Boy." A
year later, he entered the studio to record a number of songs, among them "Hillbilly
Bebop," the first known bop effort cut by a country act, and the 1950 hit "Bloodshot
Eyes." After he and Gautier opened another club, the legendary Palomino, he
reformed the Penny Serenaders, which included singer Mary Morgan, later known as
Jaye P. Morgan. The group issued "Remington Ride" and "Wham Bam! Thank You,
Ma'am" before calling it quits and then reforming again, this time with
guitarist
Billy Strange and steel guitar whiz Joaquin Murphy. In 1952, Penny left
Cooley to join Dude Martin's program; after first stealing Martin's wife,
singer
Sue Thompson, he began hosting his own series, The Hank Penny Show, which
was canceled after only seven weeks.
By 1954, Penny had moved to Las Vegas, where he began a seven-year run as a
performer at the Golden Nugget Casino, fronting a band which included the likes
of
Roy Clark. He also continued to record, even cutting a jazz record in 1961.
After divorcing
Thompson, he also recorded a comedy album before moving to Carson City, NV,
in 1970 to begin performing with his protégé,
Thom Bresh, the son of
Merle Travis. After leaving his band to
Bresh, Penny moved to Nashville, where he was in the running for a slot
hosting Hee Haw but lost out, ironically enough, to
Clark. After a tenure on radio in Wichita, KS, he and fifth wife Shari
returned to California in the mid-'70s, and for the most part he retired. Penny
died of a heart attack on April 17, 1992
