WAKE UP DEAD
Hank's album from 2005, available from $incere $ounds. A bunch of miserable songs superbly played by the Lost Cowboys. Sianed Jones played fiddle and sang on this, even some Mongolian yodelling. A punchy album with Hank getting more personal and Reg giving Sianed a real killer of a song, Wedding Dress.

COWBOYS STAY ON LONGER
Compilation of Hank's first two albums from 1980 and 1982, originally on the CowPie label, an independent UK Country music label, an early alt-country manifestation. Produced by BJ Cole, the first had a roll call of British Country rock musicians of the time. The second was live in the Pegasus North London, a legendary series of gigs in the early '80s. With the classic David Oxtoby cover, this has a rocky feel.

STORMY HORIZONS
More Country, and with some Irish influence from Dolores Keane and Mairtin O'Connor, this is a strong and tuneful set from 1990. Wangford ballads like Anyway and Excuses stand alongside beatier numbers like On The Line and My Lips Want to Stay. The title track is a tribute to the Louvin Brothers' enduring influence on us all. By this time Martin Belmont, of Graham Parker + the Rumour, had joined and is in great form on this one. Reg Meuross does great harmonies.

HARD SHOULDER (To Cry On)
A 1993 live album, two weeks out on the road with the Lost Cowboys. Untouched-up and unprettied, this is good raw Wangfords crying out on the Hard Shoulder.
