Great Roadhouse Country Swing, 2008-05-18
If you are a fan of real country style music and yearn to hear great guitar backup and superb steel guitar played with genuine emotion and finesse, this is the album for you. If you do not have any other of Wayne Hancock's discs, get this one. Although it is a "compilation" album, it was recorded LIVE,at the Continetal in Austin, TX. The musicianship is outstanding as well as Wayne's genuine, in your face, delivery. This is raw Texas style country with no apologies. The LIVE setting really shows how good Wayne and his band are. It is the real deal and should be required listening for any country band members as an example as to "how it should be done".

good band, 2008-01-05
I had never heard of Hancock so I previewed the Swing cd. I was really impressed with the band. Good toe-tappen music. Excellant intramental breaks. I am not too impressed with Wayne's very nasally sounding voice. Will probably by the cd to add to my dance library

very addictive, 2004-02-25
I recently disovered the wonders of Accuradio and, in particular, the station TWANG. It is awesome. There are a few CD's that are in heavy rotation other than Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson. This is one of them, and for good reason. It sounds new and old, and Wayne's voice does have an uncanny resemblance to a certain Hank Williams. The music has this quality that you rarely hear of being familiar and completely unique at the same time. Hat's off to the band for making it sound oh so easy. It's toe tapping heaven.

A fun, relaxed live set, 2003-08-20
A great live set recorded down in Austin by hard-country hero Wayne The Train Hancock and his band, featuring Dave Biller on guitar, a bit of trombone tootling by Bob "Texaco" Stafford, and solid, lively backing by all the others. From the album title, I had expected Hancock to indulge his interest in jazz-standards and swing, but I ain't complaining that this is a strait-up country album instead -- not by a longshot! Really, it's amazing to hear anyone playing such as rough and rowdy, yet accomplished and historically aware kinda country these days, and this disc captures the energy and charm of Hancock's live shows pretty well. High points include his new version of "Thunderstorms And Neon Signs," which may actually outdo the original -- overall, another top-notch release! Highly recommended.
