Cars/Williams/Porter/Ellington is a 2014 compilation album by jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter and drummer Scott Amendola.

The album collects four EPs recorded by Hunter and Amendola in early 2014, respectively focused on the songs of The Cars, Hank Williams, Cole Porter, and Duke Ellington. Said Hunter,

The idea is to do these four and see how people respond. We started thinking why do we keep making 10-song CDs. I don’t necessarily want to do 10 Hank Williams songs, but five can work well. As long as the song is good we can put it through the mill, like what we did with T.J. Kirk and the Bob Marley album I made.^[1]
