Wayne "The Train" Hancock Special Guest: Scott Southworth & The Honky Tonk Anonymous Band
Wayne Hancock
"Wayne Hancock has more Hank Sr. in him than either I or Hank Jr. He is the real deal.” -Hank III
Wayne Hancock is that rare breed of traditionalist: one who imbues his retro obsessions with such high energy and passion that his songs never feel like museum pieces he's trying desperately to preserve. Hancock is most often compared to Hank Williams and he can indeed be a hardcore honky tonker, but there's more to him than that: he also displays a genuine affinity for stomping rockabilly, Western swing, blues, and old-timey country à la Jimmie Rodgers. Plus, he also throws in the occasional pop standard in the manner of Willie Nelson’s classic Stardust album. Hancock's devotion to classic country sounds, coupled with his strong aversion to the Nashville hit-making machine, earned him an ardent following among alternative country fans (from both the country and rock sides of the movement), as well as a fair amount of critical acclaim
Since his stunning debut, Thunderstorms & Neon Signs, Wayne “The Train” Hancock has been the undisputed king of Juke Joint Swing – that alchemist’s dream of honky-tonk, western swing, blues, Texas rockabilly and big band. Wayne is the embodiment of genuine, house rocking, hillbilly boogie.
