Personnel on Hank's "Break Another Dawn"

Postby iefje » Wed Nov 08, 2023 4:20 pm

While browsing on the http://www.discogs.com website, I stumbled upon personnel information for Hank's solo recording "Break Another Dawn":
- Roddy MacKenzie on acoustic guitar and backing vocals
- Klaus Voormann on bass guitar
- Timi Donald on drums

I do wonder who played piano on the track.

As both "Break Another Dawn" and "Would You Believe It" were recorded on May 16th, 1970, the latter must also feature those musicians. Does anyone know for sure?

Ronald Leahy? He played keyboards with White Trash who I believe were the band recruited to back Hank on this single. I got his name from Wikipedia which also lists Timi Donald as a member of the band.

Break Another Dawn...one of a number of commercial/"hit record"-sounding vocal songs which members of The Shadows or The Shadows themselves have released through the '60s - '80s which despite receiving some radio airplay either didn't reach the charts at all, or only rose to very lowly positions.

Thank you Clive. Another piece of the puzzle solved. ;) It's a pity that "Break Another Dawn" didn't do much on the charts as (to me) it sounds very commercial too.
