About Wayne Hancock - Thunderstorms and Neon Signs

Playing the too-country for commercial radio side of the field, Wayne Hancock makes some of the loneliest Hank Williams-styled C&W since, well, since ol' Hank himself. Moving easily from hillbilly bop ("Double A Daddy") to dancehall honky tonk ("Juke Joint Jumpin'"), Hancock has the old-school twang down cold. He succeeds most, though, when he takes that old sound and fits it into his own modern life, as he does on the exquisitely drawn title track, where he details why pulling off to a motel whenever the highway weather gets bad makes his heart swell with fond memories. --David Cantwell Amazon.com

I've finally had to admit that one of the reasons I don't think I can move out of Texas is because I'd have to leave the music behind, and that might kill me. This and _Wild, Free, and Reckless_ are the albums responsible for reeling me into Wayne fandom. Rockabilly with an old-style feeling that's not a slave to kitsch! April 11, 2007

This is classic rockabilly. It's got all the elements, catchy tunes with a good beat, twangy voice, and good stories. If you like western swing music with an edge, you should try this . March 25, 2006

rating: 5 QuoteHank III's version of the title song ain't bad neither!Quote
If you were lookin' for country music that's
too lonely for VH1,
too despondent for CMT,
and too ornery for GAC,
you just found it. November 3, 2005

rating: 5 QuotePuts Nashville Commercial Establishment to shame!!!Quote
My only regret was not getting this album sooner. The music and lyrics are real and unpretentious. Wayne Hancock is a true American gem. September 7, 2005

rating: 5 QuoteGREAT LYRICS AND MUSIC.Quote
What a great album this is, not only is the music a real pleasure to listen to, but the lyrics are a hoot! Wayne is not afraid to experiment, he skillfully combines old school elements with new in such a natural way. The songs pull you right in as if your listening to an old favorite you haven't heard in a long time. This album instantly became one of my favorites. I bought two more to give as gifts.
