Editor's review
A hot, fiery vein of purebred honky tonk mixes with a rockabilly sensibility and runs straight through the center of Wayne Hancock's music. The twang's thick, the rhythm is ripe, the arrangements are professionally sparse, and the music's as honest and down to earth as a Texas fencepost. Get up and dance, what you waiting for?
Biography
Wayne "The Train" Hancock is the world’s finest purveyor of an enticing blend of honky-tonk, western swing, blues, Texas rockabilly and big band called Juke Joint Swing. There, we’ve said it and we dare you to prove us wrong.
Wayne makes music fit for any road house anywhere. With his unmistakable voice, The Train’s reckless honky-tonk can move the dead. If you see him live (and he is ALWAYS touring), you’ll surely work up some sweat stains on that snazzy Rayon shirt you’re wearing. If you buy his records, you’ll be rolling up your carpets, spreading sawdust on the hardwood, and dancing until the downstairs neighbors are banging their brooms on the ceiling.
Little known fact: Wayne is the only Bloodshot Records artist to have had their CD taken aboard a space shuttle flight
