The real deal,
By Thomas More (Billings, MT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thunderstorms & Neon Signs (Audio CD)
I first heard Wayne on the Prairie Home Companion radio show News Years Eve Gala in Dallas, TX. I was in the audience that night and heard several of these songs performed live. I've owned the CD now for several years and have listened to it countless times. There's something simply extraordinary about the simple arrangements. Stan Smith's clarinet and Bob Stafford's trombone being brought in for some of the tracks lends it a crossover feel. I've even come to accept Wayne's abrasive take of "Summertime" at the CD's end. It's country that gets at the heart of the tradition. And there's a lot of heart packed into this CD's contents. The title track and "Cold, Lonesome Wind" highlight the melancholy elements wonderfully. They may be my favorites, though songs like "Juke Joint Jumping" and "Double A Daddy," with their driving, danceable rhythms, are brilliant. I highly recommend this to anyone.

WARNING...Not For The Top 40 Fan!!,
By
This review is from: Thunderstorms & Neon Signs (Audio CD)
If you're a fan of "country music" in the 21st century, you are not going to enjoy listening to this album!!Wayne Hancock does not make music for the Top 40 crowd. To enjoy Wayne, you're going to have to forget about over-produced albums. Wayne creates albums for those true, dyed-in-the wool, country music fans. Wayne takes you back to a time when life was simple, no worry about crime, and just laid back enjoyment of life. Like Joe Ely say's, "Wayne The Train is the real deal"!

GREAT LYRICS AND MUSIC.,
This review is from: Thunderstorms & Neon Signs (Audio CD)
What a great album this is, not only is the music a real pleasure to listen to, but the lyrics are a hoot! Wayne is not afraid to experiment, he skillfully combines old school elements with new in such a natural way. The songs pull you right in as if your listening to an old favorite you haven't heard in a long time. This album instantly became one of my favorites. I bought two more to give as gifts.
