I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Sheriff & Outlaw Face Off in Wayne Hancock's New Music Video | Culture Collide Premiere


A sheriff and killer square off in the new music video from Texas honky tonk legend Wayne Hancock, and it's now playing via Culture Collide. The music video blends dark humor and tragedy, just like a classic country murder ballad should. This is Wayne Hancock's first music video in years, and it's following on the heels of Wayne Hancock's new album Slingin' Rhythm, available now. The video was directed by Chicago filmmaker Stanley Sievers (who is a performer at legendary Chicago comedy temple iO) and color graded by Mikey Pehanich at The Mill Chicago.

Wayne Hancock has more Hank Sr. in him than either I or Hank Williams Jr. He is the real deal.” — Hank III

Ride track listing:

1.       Ride
2.      Low Down Blues
3.      Best To Be Alone
4.      Lone Road Home
5.      Get the Blues Low Down
6.      Deal Gone Down
7.      Fair Weather Blues
8.     Home with My Baby
9.      Gal From Kitchen’s Field
10.  Cappuccino Boogie
11.   Any Old Time



Produced by Wayne and his longtime producer/collaborator Lloyd Maines (Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Dixie Chicks, Joe Ely), Ride further cements Wayne’s life-long calling as a modern-day traditionalist through his signature mélange of roadhouse blues, hepcat boogie, rockabilly, and juke joint swing. Throughout Ride a theme develops wherein soul searching transforms into letting go; where the back-porch, rocking chair contemplation seamlessly melds with the atmospheres of the lively, carefree honky tonk or just the open road that leads there.

INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIAN ROGER KNOX RELEASES
NEW ALBUM STRANGER IN MY LAND
TODAY, FEBRUARY 12

PLUS, THE LAUNCH OF HIS NEW SINGLE “BLUE GUMS CALLING ME BACK HOME” w/ KELLY HOGAN, JON LANGFORD AND OTHERS


Featuring producer/collaborator Jon Langford (Mekons, Waco Brothers), Charlie Louvin’s possible last recording, guest appearances from Kelly Hogan, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Dave Alvin (Blasters, X), the Sadies, Sally Timms (Mekons), Andre Williams, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, and others.

Elegant, suffused with meaning and essential. – Canada.com

Both a revelation and a fine album in a style that seems timeless, Stranger in My Land should, in a fair and equitable world, bring Knox an appreciative audience in America, and it may well illustrate how much American country music has lost and left behind in its brazen pursuit of the pop charts. 4 out of 5 stars. – All Music.com

Part travelogue, part National Geographic special, and part crash sociology course, Stranger in My Land, the new album by Roger Knox is surely to be the most important album you will listen to all year, and might just be the most important album of the decade… Stranger in My Land is a five on a five scale listen. – Cool Album of the Day


To commemorate the album release, we would like to share a song stream from Stranger In My Land, the Kelly Hogan and Sadies featuring “Blue Gums Calling Me Back Home.” You can listen to the track here - http://soundcloud.com/bshq/roger-knox-and-kelly-hogan - and embed/share the song via Facebook, Twitter, etc.

You can order the new album at your favorite online retailer or over at Bloodshotrecords.com.

Bloodshot artist Jon Langford (Mekons, Waco Brothers) met Roger Knox – the Koori King of Country or Black Elvis – on a visit to Australia several years ago and, when he heard Roger’s story and captivating music and the potentially-soon-to-be-lost subculture of this utterly unique cultural collision (a.k.a. Indigenous Australian country/western music), knew he had to put out his next record. Stranger In My Land is a collection of songs originally written by Indigenous Australian artists who were Knox’s predecessors, some tunes previously recorded but difficult to find as well as several unrecorded, handed-down folklore songs (which without this recording, could be lost forever). It is powerful and moving material, suffused with longing, alienation, resilience and hope; universal themes arising out of a previously unexplored context. It carries the weight of a Harry Smith document, but with a spirit that remains relevant in today's world.
