Denny Lile - Hear the Bang (2015)

This new package, Hear the Bang: The Life and Music of Denny Lile, represents an attempt to garner for the singer-songwriter the recognition that he never received in his lifetime. The former suggests that while he may not have quite been the musical genius that the latter occasionally proclaims him to be, he deserved much more success than he enjoyed.

Denny Lile got his first big break in 1987 when a Waylon Jennings cover of his song "Fallin' Out" became a top ten country hit. Unfortunately though, that first break also proved to be Lile's last, because by then he had already begun the descent into alcoholism that would ruin his career and marriage. This ultimately led to his death in 1995 at age 44.
