Thunderstorms and Neon Signs

Chris Schlotzhauer · From: Colleyville, Tx. USA

I was drivinf west of Ft. Worth the other day listening to a local FM station, and they played T-storms & Neon signs by Wayne Hancock. I remember steel all over that song, but what I heard, the steel was all but gone. Instead I heard a heavy dose of fiddle. Kind of ruined the song for me. I noticed that all of the songs played by this station seemed to sound different. Almost like they were remixed and added effects. Can a station do that? And what happened to the steel?

Chris;
Did the radio say it was Wayne's version of Thunderstorms... I also have the Hank III CD where he covers three Hancock songs. At first I thought for sure I was hearing Wayne sing, but it was Hank III. Hank's arrangements are
slightly different, but his voice is a lot like Wayne's on the covers.

It could be compression. Radio stations use a horrible amount of it so that music is louder without signal peaks . The effect is to bring background instruments more to the front, so the mix might sound different.

I was not aware Hank III cut that song. Maybe it was him. Why would someone cover that song just like the original artist, so soon after the original release?
