Bill Nash Honors Hank Williams Sr with Nostalgic New Single

By Robert White, Editor-In-Chief

Veteran country singer-songwriter Bill Nash is embracing his roots and honoring a legend with his latest single, Locked in Your Lovin’ Arms, due out Friday, March 21. The track is the first release from the upcoming Oh Hank EP, a heartfelt tribute to the timeless style of Hank Williams Sr., featuring a blend of reverence, tradition, and the unmistakable twang of classic country.

Co-written by Nash’s son Jimmy Nash and produced alongside industry mainstay Kenny Royster (Luke Combs, Trace Adkins, Craig Morgan), the single is already earning early radio support from key country stations like KAGH, KDOL, KTMO, and WGRV.

“I told my son, Jimmy, I wanted to do a Hank tribute, and he had already written this song for me to feature my yodel, just like I do on Hank songs,” said Nash. “It was a perfect fit.”

The song’s nostalgic soundscape is brought to life with a rich vocal performance that nods to Hank Williams Sr.’s legendary yodeling. But Locked in Your Lovin’ Arms isn’t just a sonic homage—it’s a deeply personal project for Nash, whose seven-decade career began on the front bench of a Pentecostal church and wound through five major record labels, the Grand Ole Opry, and collaborations with country icons like Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton.

Hank Williams' influence runs deep in Nash’s musical DNA. “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 five major labels, and a lifetime in music.”

The Oh Hank EP, due June 6, features five tracks and a medley that blend original songs with classic Hank covers like I Saw The Light and I Can’t Help It. Nash co-wrote the title track Oh Hank with his wife Kim Nash and their son Jimmy, making the project a true family affair.

Reflecting on the EP’s origin, Nash shared an emotional insight: “I was playing I Can’t Help It If I’m Still in Love with You at my desk one day, and something just came over me. I started to cry, thinking about Hank’s pain, his early death, and all the songs he never got to write. It was a spiritual moment for me.”

The heartfelt nature of the project extends beyond the music. Nash, along with his wife, also founded Champions Kids Camp in Houston, a nonprofit supporting children who’ve experienced traumatic events. That same spirit of resilience and connection flows through Locked in Your Lovin’ Arms and the EP that follows.

To accompany the single, a music video is currently in production in both Houston and Nashville, directed by Jimmy Nash and Tommy Mauser. The video is expected to premiere in late spring or early summer, adding a visual chapter to this poignant musical tribute.

With a career that began in gospel trios and evolved into mainstream hits, Bill Nash’s latest work is more than a comeback—it’s a celebration of legacy, family, and the enduring soul of country music. As fellow legend Larry Gatlin once said, “I have never heard him sing a bad note. I have never even heard him sing a good note. Bill Nash only sings great notes.”
