Wayne Hancock
Slingin' Rhythm CD

Slingin' Rhythm, the brand new album from Wayne “The Train” Hancock, is a finely honed, day-in-the-life brand of juke joint rhythm which sits in the sweet spot of American music invention between Hillbilly, Rockabilly, Jazz and Western Swing.
The more retro he gets, the fresher he sounds with his songs about the everyday and the everyman, with their driving pulse and live-in-the-moment vibe.
It’s been over three years since the last Wayne Hancock album, Ride, but no grass has grown under Wayne’s boots - he has on the road 200 days a year.
Slingin’ Rhythm, with its emphasis on off-the-cuff instrumental interplay has Wayne and his band drive down the centreline between tight and loose.
Like a latter day Bob Wills, spontaneously calling out encouragement, or Hank Williams and Ernest Tubb effortlessly knocking out smile-through-the-pain honky-tonk, Wayne “The Train” Hancock delivers an unvarnished, BS-free restorative.
