• Honky-Tonk Heaven

    The stars have somehow aligned and conspired to bring us new honky-tonk records from both Dale Watson and Wayne “The Train” Hancock. I’ve compared and contrasted the two a bit and linked to three new songs over at Songs:Illinois. I think I’m liking the more organic sound of Hancock over the hard-edged twang of Watson. But it’s a tossup. I particularly like that Wayne Hancock addresses the current (D)recession on the song “Workin at Workin”.
