He developed a fondness for country music following an accident in his childhood. He learned to play the guitar during his recovery and began performing locally as well. In his early adulthood, he formed his own band called the Rocky Mountain Playboys, which played gigs and performed on local radio. Locklin was heard singing during one of these gigs, which led to his first recording contract in 1949. He had his first major hit on the <i>Billboard</i> country chart the same year. His 1953 single "<a href="/wiki/Let_Me_Be_the_One_(Hank_Locklin_song)" title="Let Me Be the One (Hank Locklin song)">Let Me Be the One</a>" was his first to top the country chart. </p><p>In 1955, Locklin signed with <a href="/wiki/RCA_Records" title="RCA Records">RCA Victor Records</a> and under the production of <a href="/wiki/Chet_Atkins" title="Chet Atkins">Chet Atkins</a>, he had his biggest success as a country artist.

He also joined the cast of the <a href="/wiki/Grand_Ole_Opry" title="Grand Ole Opry">Grand Ole Opry</a> and remained a member for nearly 50 years. He became a major concert attraction internationally as well, touring overseas in Europe beginning in the 1960s and 70s. Locklin also recorded a handful of concept albums during this period, which made him among the genre's first artists to release albums centered around a theme. He later recorded for other labels, including <a href="/wiki/MGM_Records" title="MGM Records">MGM</a>, <a href="/wiki/Plantation_Records" title="Plantation Records">Plantation</a> and Coldwater.
