As on his previous six albums, Wayne "The Train" Hancock channels Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers, for an utterly vintage take on American music. With revered producer Lloyd Maines at the helm, TULSA swings, cooks, and slinks along in classic country style. Hancock's voice is pure honky tonk, with plaintive hiccups and petulant yowls adding color to his amiable baritone. He and his band, particularly Eddie Rivers on steel guitar, have mastered the traditional forms--swing, country-blues, twilight ballads--so well that listeners may find themselves checking the copyright date just to be sure this really was made in 2006. Maines's sparkling production is the only real giveaway.
Personnel: Wayne Hancock (vocals); Eddie Biebel, Eddie Biebel (guitar); John Doyle , John Doyle (clarinet); Bob Stafford, Bob "Texaco" Stafford (trombone); Chris Darrell (bass instrument); Dave Biller, Paul Skelton (guitar); Eddie Rivers (steel guitar).
Dirty Linen (p.89) - "Hancock has represented the high-water mark for authentic, traditional country music, and he continues to set the pace with his latest gem, TULSA." No Depression (p.108) - "[H]e's not looking to simply preserve antiques or overstuff his wallet, but rather to perpetuate the spirit, as the musical greats he emulates did." Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "He writes and records new original material in the old tradition. Joyous stuff."

Tulsa songs
$13.95 ONE STEP AHEAD was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.
When Rhonda Vincent first hit the national bluegrass scene in the early '90s, fans were amazed by her clear voice and fleet-fingered fiddle and mandolin playing. Over time, however, the depth of Vincent's musical talent has become even more impressive than her chops. With ONE STEP AHEAD, the musician truly comes into her own as one of the giants of the genre, even writing five of the albums' 12 tunes. Backed by a band ...

Tulsa songs
$11.49 The 2002 Spanks A Lot Records version includes two bonus tracks.
Sometimes there's a thin line between tribute and parody, and Austin's acoustic Asylum Street Spankers walk that line with more grace and dignity than most. On their debut album, the Austin-based collective borrows classic jug band instrumentation, vocal mannerisms, and in some cases even repertoire, imbuing songs like Lucille Bogan's "Shave 'Em Dry" and Robert Johnson's seminal blues "If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day" with both authenticity and irony. For the most part, it works well, largely due to the fact that the Asylum Street Spankers know when to go for camp appeal and when to play it straight. The contributions of co-frontman Wammo take the former route, with originals "Lee Harvey" and "Startin' to Hate Country" dependent on humor for their effectiveness; covers of pop standards "I'll See You in My Dreams" and "Brazil" are less affected. More surprising is the album's emotional range. How many groups could get away with sequencing a whimsical ode to marijuana ("Funny Cigarette," which succeeds based on its attention to vaudevillian detail, even though the band bettered it in 2000 with "Beer," which was essentially a rewrite) back to back with a darkly earnest glimpse at the underbelly of small-town America (Guy Forsyth's devastating "Hometown Boy")? Not many, and that boldness is the greatest strength of Spanks for the Memories, an album that's among the rawest yet most nuanced in the group's catalog. The 2002 reissue adds "Drunkard's Wave," a lurching barroom anthem, and "Black Eyed Blues," a comic tale of revenge that slyly echoes the bawdy early blues numbers the band holds dear. ~ Kenneth Bays

$40.75 | | DR Fong & Friends Goin' Out To Party Tonight! CD (2007)
Tulsa album
$9.29 Dr. Fong aka Jay Wilfong made his way to his present hometown Nashville, Tennessee in the late 90's. The infamous Doc and friends are a conglomeration of the some of the best studio peeps, touring rockers, bluesmen and the best of those not quite right Nashville cats. These guys are never the same twice and have more war stories between them than Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwartzenegger! Picture bullet riddled life surviving bluesmen! Fong started out WAY back in the 60's at little Indiana venues and rocked his way to a small piece of fame and fortune in bands such as the Poverty Programme, Cottonwood Junction, The Pandemonium Shadow Show and then founded one of planet's most incredible and least known bands "Primevil". Primevil was managed by Indy's WNAP Radio Music Director Michael T. John Griffin and were somehow tagged the "baddest band what am". Primevil burnt up the stages in Indiana in 73 and 74 and released what is now the highly prized "Smokin" Bats at Campton's" LP that was produced and recorded at the legendary 700 West Studio. Highlights of the Primevil bands' escapades were opening for such legends as Z Z Top, Climax Blues Band, Muddy Waters, Renaissance, ...
