Butch Hancock's discography is somewhat difficult to piece together. Many of his albums originally appeared on the small Rainlight label, and while a number of these albums have been reissued on CD, some have not. Firewater is Hancock's fourth album, a thrown-together live set recorded at the Alamo Lounge in Austin in 1980 (and released the following year). Although recorded live, only "The Wind's Dominion" had shown up on his earlier solo albums. "If You Were a Bluebird" would become a Hancock standard, but the standout tune here is the title track. The unpolished band chugs along on all cylinders for "Firewater" while Hancock sings, "You got drunk last nite/You swear you saw the devil/Don't you know firewater seeks its own level?" There's a good version of A.P. Carter's "No Hidin' Place," and Jimmie Dale Gilmore sings a verse or two on "I Keep Wishing for You" and "If You Were a Bluebird." There are other good songs on Firewater -- "Like the Light at Dawn" and "One More Road" -- and they're filled with Hancock's usual clever wordplay and off-the-cuff delivery. The problem, however, is that it all sounds like it was recorded in a barn and just for the fun of it. For those accustomed to Hancock's loose performing style, though, the album will be worth picking up if for no other reason than the title track. ~ Ronnie Lankford, Jr. Firewater...

Firewater... Seeks It's Own Level
$7.99
Heroes in the SeaweedA story of strangers and estranged friends coming together... Ryan Montgomery and Brett Welch met purely by chance, at a party in the Clinton Hill region of Brooklyn. After talking over a few too many drinks, Ryan, a former film student at Pratt Institute, decided to recruit Brett, a former creative writing major at The New School, to assist with the copy writing responsibilities involved in The Brooklyn Underground Film Festival, the offices of which were to be the first venue for the duo's early songwriting sessions. After a few months of casual plucking, strumming, and caterwauling, the two began to take a serious interest in what they were doing, and decided to recruit other musicians to add some textural depth to the raw combination of acoustic guitar and acoustic bass. Shortly before Christmas, 2003, Brett was at a local dive bar near his hometown of Oakdale, New York, when he happened upon an old high school friend, Joseph Demers, whom he'd lost touch with over the years. The two Long Island natives-turned Brooklyn residents played catch-up and recalled the jam sessions of their younger days. Joe, who, at the time, played in a hard rock band that was on the brink of disintegration, had grown tired of power chords and loud distortion, and wanted to start a project more in tune with his mellow emotional state. Brett jumped at the opportunity and invited him to take part in a writing session. The duo became a trio, but did not remain that way for long. Shortly after that session, Joe invited David Teufel, a good friend and classically trained ...
