Waxed - Record Review from Issue #66 Nov-Dec 2006
Wayne Hancock – Tulsa
Wayne Hancock’s first studio record since 2001 offers nothing more or less than the usual Hancock fare: songs you can swing your gal around the dance floor to, songs you can swig your beer down to when she leaves you, and songs such as “Ain’t Gonna Worry No More”, telling you to let it go [...]

Wayne Hancock – Swing Time
Somewhere about 1956, Wayne “The Train” Hancock turned off his radio and never turned it back on. What’s that? He’s not that old? Well, you couldn’t prove it by the Texan’s recorded output, including this live set from Austin’s fabled Continental Club. By now, Hancock has a definable sound, usually described as latter-day Hank Williams [...]

A rambling family life brought about a childhood spent as the eternal “new kid in school” at all points West before settling in Kilgore, Texas, for most of his high school years. Six years in [...]

Wayne Hancock – That’s What Daddy Wants
Wayne Hancock’s debut, Thunderstorms And Neon Signs, was one of those records I wanted to like more than I actually did. It featured a bunch of good songs, and it effectively reached back into the ’50s and conjured up a true honky-tonk sound. But the whole affair seemed a little forced, Hancock trying just a [...]
Waxed - Record Review from Issue #2 Winter 1995
Wayne Hancock – Thunderstorms and Neon Signs
It’s inevitable that within the span of that same breath that first mentions Wayne Hancock, you’ll also hear “…sounds like Hank Williams.” It’s true. Looking like a character from a John Steinbeck novel, Wayne Hancock invites comparisons to country pioneers. The simple the fact that Wayne “sounds like Hank” might be enough to pique the [...]
