In the mighty mighty tradition of "Night Train," "Shotgun," and "Quarter To Three," master saxman Terry Hanck has released "Always" on the Vizztone label. This set rocks from start to finish, and hearkens back to a time when guys like Jr. Walker and Gene "Daddy G" Barge ruled the airwaves. Terry has been around the contemporary scene for quite some time, having toure d with Elvin Bishop for a number of years, and having released four CD's prior to this one. His style encompasses everything from the retro-rock of the fifties to the Maceo Parker-influenced funk of the seventies.
This also is Terry's first CD of all original material. Check out the cool instrumentals "Always" and "Stingy" to get a good idea where Terry's roots lie. There is quite a cast of backing musicians, too. Johnny Soubrand and Kid Anderson work the guitars, Michael Brooks is on bass, and Butch Cousins is on drums. There are some cool special guests, too. Old friend Elvin Bishop drops in on guitar, as well as Los Lobos' Steve Berlin on sax, Jimmy Pugh on B-3, and Tracy Nelson and Vickie Carrico on backing vocals.
Terry's no slouch in the vocal area, either. Honed from years of blowing that sax, he has quite a powerful delivery and range. He has a lot of fun with all these cuts, too. A man that's had enough of bad love says that "Cupid Must Be Stupid to think I'm gonna stay with you!" And, on a softer note, "I've cried My Last Teardrop" is a good 'un for the slow-dancers. "The First Time Around" and "Good Kind Of Lovin'" evoke the classic soul era. And, the swingin' "Deep Fried Twinkies" has a groovy New Orleans-like vibe goin on.
We had two favorites, too. Terry swears he's gonna bust outta his slump, get some real cash money, and promises things are gonna get better in the rowdy "When I Get My Shit Together!" There's some good blues-rock represented in "Good Good Rockin' Goin' On," with Terry's high-end notes wailin' away at the bridge! Terry Hanck and "Always" is a party on a platter, folks. Just roll back the rug and commence to gittin' down, because this one is a guaranteed table-thumpin' smash! Until next time... /Sheryl & Don Crow, Music City Blues News
