Wayne "the Train" Hancock is the real deal — a true-blue, hillbilly swing messiah. The Austin son hits like an H-bomb, absolutely exploding the feet of anyone acquainted with the sorrow-sodden tunes of Hank Williams or the warm, sweeping orchestration of George Gershwin. Hancock's refusal to compromise his classic sound — a potent blend of western swing, blues, and honky-tonk — has earned him a fiercely loyal underground following, and his irrepressible energy has attracted attention from a panoply of A-list country stars. His live show, meanwhile, is guaranteed to exterminate your blues — or at least exile 'em.
