Highlighting some records that I picked up at the Monroe Street Sidewalk Sale. (not pictured 5 Charlie Rich albums).Contrary to what I said on the show, the phrase Honky Tonk does have a pretty standard definition. A honky-tonk (also called honkatonk, honkey-tonk, honky tonk, or tonk) is both a bar that provides country music for the entertainment of its patrons and the style of music played in such establishments.
