Daniel O’Donnell’s career has now spanned more than 30 years and during this time he continues to delight fans around the world by his prolific recording and touring activities. Having taken a year off from recording and touring, Daniel is back with his brand new album, ‘The Hank Williams Songbook’, which features songs that will be very familiar to his legions of fans

These songs include ‘Jambalaya (On The Bayou)’ which amongst others has been covered by Elvis Presley and The Carpenters, ‘Your Cheatin’ Heart’ covered by LeAnn Rimes, Patsy Cline, Van Morrison and James Brown, ‘Take These Chains From My Heart’ covered by Ray Charles, Rosanne Cash, Ann Murray and ‘Hey Good Lookin’’ Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and The Mavericks, with it also appearing in the video game ‘Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’! All of these great songs have stood the test of time and have been interpreted in many different ways, which is why Daniel has gone back to their roots to record them in their original style.

Country Music has played an integral part throughout Daniel’s career and with the success of 2004’s ‘Welcome To My World’ (a tribute to Jim Reeves, which has sold more than 175,000 units) and 2008’s ‘Country Boy’ (which has sold upwards of 150,000 units), ‘The Hank Williams Songbook’ will put Daniel firmly back into the top-end of the Charts. Daniel O’Donnell is amongst the select few recording artists who have sold more than 4.2 MILLION units in the UK this millennium. Daniel has now amassed nineteen Top 30 albums – thirteen of them Top 10 – since January 2000, a feat not achieved by any other recording Artist in the UK Album Chart.
