There are never any big stylistic surprises with Hancock -- the man knows what works for him musically and never veers outside of his circle of comfort. In the case of Wayne "The Train" Hancock, this means that he is still pounding out the same retro country/honky tonk/Western swing vibe that he has toyed with since his excellent 1995 debut, Thunderstorms and Neon Signs. Hancock's fourth album, A-Town Blues, features more anachronistically pleasing old-time music augmented by warbled Southwestern vocals. On his first release for the insurgent country label Bloodshot Records, the wayward troubadour touches on familiar genre subject matter as well. Tales of road weariness ("Route 23"), warnings about booze and breaking the law ("Miller, Jack, and Mad Dog"), and, of course, heartbreak ("Sands of Time") are all recurring themes. Surprisingly, a production hand by longtime collaborator Lloyd Maines (Wilco, Richard Buckner) doesn't really add much to Hancock's naturally sparse sound, though. If anything, it's Maines' appropriately placed steel guitar licks that actually do more for the album. All in all, A-Town Blues is yet another excellent release from a homely, all-American artist. ~ Bret Booth

Recorded at Cedar Creek Recording, Austin, Texas.

Personnel: Wayne Hancock (vocals, guitar); Tony Loke, Dave Biller (guitar); Jeremy Wakefield (steel guitar); Ric Ramirez, Shawn Supra (bass).

Down Beat (1/02, p.72) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Hancock's steel guitar-tweaked juke joint swing has a spark to it that confirms he's a direct descendant of those resilient, guitar-toting country & western and folk blues heroes..."
Mojo (Publisher) (11/01, p.100) - "...Good stuff..."

There are moments on Wayne Hancock's debut album, 1996's Thunderstorms and Neon Signs, where you could swear that the risen ghost of Hank Williams had somehow found its way into this sawed-off drifter from Texas; but beyond the unavoidable vocal similarity between Hancock and Williams, what the two really have in common is a heartfelt love of the honky tonk tradition and a real gift for making the style sound fresh and vital.

The quieter, more contemplative side of the hammered dulcimer. This is the music I play for myself when I'm at home.The album features audiophile sound quality and mastering.All but one track are solo hammered dulcimer and that track has the addition of low whistle and frame drum.The pieces on this album are predominantly traditional tunes though several are of my own composition.I originally released “Ocean Of Wisdom” on a long out of print cassette (remember those?) in 1990. It has since been recorded by a at least two other hammered dulcimer players. I have been performing since the mid 1970’s. During the 1980’s I toured throughout the United States and performed at many folk festivals, dulcimer festivals and concert venues.In 1983 I took first place in both the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship and the National Mountain Dulcimer Championship in Winfield, Kansas.I have appeared as a support musician on many albums and soundtracks. I am also a former member of the Celtic ensemble Colcannon.When I was first drawn to the dulcimer and hammered dulcimer I was unaware that many considered these instruments to be musically limited. As I taught myself to play I assumed that any walls I came up against were because caused by my lack of ability, not the potential of the instrument.-------CD review: Doug Berch is back on the music scene with sumptuous ‘Sadness’by Chris RietzThe Lansing State Journal: October 9, 2008In 1983 he won the National Championship at storied Winfield, Kan., in both lap-style and hammered dulcimer. In 1990 he released “Ocean of Wisdom” on cassette tape (remember those?), a piece that’s become his most-requested tune and recorded by numerous others.After a lengthy hiatus, Haslett’s Doug Berch returned to music earlier this year by starting an instrument-making business and releasing two CDs simultaneously: one is “Songs From My Past,” an original-song and mountain dulcimer program.The other is “The Sadness of Common Objects,” a contemplative, all-instrumental hammered dulcimer album - which, for its pervasive musicality and sheer sonic sumptuousness, may be one of the finest recordings ever made on this simple, sometimes abused instrument.Psaltery-like instruments have been around since ...
