Wayne Hancock

Since his stunning debut, Thunderstorms and Neon Signs in 1995, Wayne �The Train� Hancock has been the undisputed king of Juke Joint Swing�that alchemist�s dream of honky-tonk, western swing, blues, Texas rockabilly and big band. Always an anomaly among his country music peers, Wayne�s uncompromising interpretation of the music he loves is in fact what defines him: steeped in tradition but never �retro�, bare bones but bone shaking, hardcore but with a swing. Like the comfortable crackle of a Wurlitzer 45 jukebox, Wayne is the embodiment of genuine, house rocking, hillbilly boogie.
