Editorial Review:
Produced by Lloyd Maines (Wilco, Richard Buckner, Joe Ely, and, yes, the Dixie Chicks), "A-Town Blues" is loose and live, baby. Pedal steel, guitars, and buckhouse bass—that's it. No trickery or effects, just the finely honed chops of a band that's been known to play 200+ dates in a year. They swing through a set of songs that reflect Wayne's scorn for the soulless, pocketbook-driven sounds that ooze out of Nashville; songs that reminisce about old friends and family; songs that sing praises to the road and songs that rue the hazards of hooch.

Rating: - A Town Blues
It's simple.The Train is a great musician,singer and song writer and it's all evident on this cd. Besides all of this, his back up musicians are terrific and he features them on almost every song and even seems to take a back seat to them. If you haven't listened to Wayne very much this cd will work for you. If you are a Train fan you can't live without this cd.
Rating: - can't go wrong
I love this cd more every time I listen to it. Boogie twang at it's best
Rating: - A Town Blues - Wayne Hancock
Excellent choice from this lively Texas rockabilly artist. See him in concert if you ever have the chance.
Rating: - Moving country

The production is sparse, the musicianship brilliant: it's evident that Hancock and his band ... Read More
Rating: - A thousand miles and more...
This album is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. The songs are memorable for their raw, honest lyrics, as well as for the toe-tapping guitars. Wayne Hancock is a true American gem who blends country, hillbilly swing, rockability, and blues to form a cadre of songs that are hard to get out of your head.
So tie one on and make a thousand miles...
