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.
Reviews…
"This is the third Hank Wangford CD (from 1997) which I bought at one of his gigs at Bridport in 2007 - and a classic. Outstanding tracks are 'Trail of Lies' 'Home Sweet Home' and 'Did you see me Wave?' - which is as beautifully sad as Hank can surely write. All the other tracks are excellent..."
"More years ago than I care to remember (back in the 80's) Hank Wangford was a regular fixture in the Half Moon at Putney, and I went to see him often because his songs were witty, suggestive but never rude, and often profound without being heavy, and performed by great musicians with a decently irreverent attitude. A great evening's entertainment, guaranteed. Especially when you learned what Hank did for a day job."
