MUSIC 36 TONE AUDIO NO.53 Wayne Hancock Ride Bloodshot Records, LP or CD There have always been ghosts in Wayne “The Train” Hancock’s music. Ever since his debut in 1995 as a rough-cut neo-traditionalist, the fiery Texan has channeled artists from country’s golden age. Those late kindred spirits have included western swing king Bob Wills, honky-tonk legend Ernest Tubb, and hillbilly boogie pioneers the Maddox Brothers and Rose. But most of all, the great Hank Williams, Sr. hovers over Hancock’s music, a streak that extends to his latest release, Ride. Indeed, there are times when Hancock’s astringent twang bears a striking similarity to country’s most famous lovesick blues boy. Ride is Hancock’s eighth record and fifth for Chicago’s insurgent country label, Bloodshot Records. It marks a welcome return for the road warrior that checked into rehab for substance addiction in 2011 and is now back on tour and working towards a life of sobriety. (continued)

Hancock, a singer and rhythm guitarist, wrote all the tunes here but one. His crew is considerable, with long-time co-producer and Texas legend Lloyd Maines (also the father of Dixie Chick Natalie Maines) joining ace backing players Bob Stafford on electric guitar and trombone, Zack Sapunor on upright bass, Eddie Rivers on steel guitar, and Eddie Biebel and Tjarko Jeen on electric guitars. He is generous with his shout-outs on record, name-checking his players ala Bob Wills. Over the years, he’s learned a lot in the club scene about what makes an audience dance. From the walking bass line on “Low Down Blues” to the chugging beat of the cheating epic “Deal Gone Down,” his songs are built to get everybody in the joint up on their feet. Even when the sentiments are sorrowful (“Tear Drops On the Table”) and his voice is drenched in the blue tones of a crying steel guitar (“Best To Be Alone”), toetapping beats remain a constant. Hancock also demonstrates a keen touch for country-jazz on “Gal From Kitchen’s Field,” his weather-beaten voice tucked inside the warm interplay of guitar and trombone. Hancock’s music has always been a love letter to the past. In his world, there’s a honky-tonk on the edge of town where Hank Sr. is forever the headliner. —Chrissie Dickinson March 2013 39
