Description
"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 traditional 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." -BloodshotRecords.com

"Them Slack Jawed Sons of Bitches aren't as simple as they might lead you to believe. The San Jose band's debut, Whiskey and Waffles, shows how many styles they can handle. There are punked-up Cash beatwalkers like "Staring Back at Me" and heavy alt-country laments like "Bring Me to My Knees." Though they're not a rockabilly or psychobilly band by any stretch of the imagination, "Be Alright" and "Honky Romp" could pass for great songs that the Rev. Horton Heat never wrote. A big beat often collides into loud and fast guitar riffs." - Steve Palopoli, Metroactive.com
