That's What Daddy Wants

Amazon.com
Wayne Hancock's piercing, nasal tenor reminds one immediately of Hank Williams Sr., but unlike a lot of neo-hillbillies, this young Texan resembles his hero without any trace of reverence or irony. On his second album, That's What Daddy Wants, Hancock cruises through a dozen originals and one remake ("Brand New Cadillac") with a naturalness that's disarming. As you listen to these songs about barrooms, bedrooms, and badlands, you find yourself thinking not about the history of the bygone honky-tonk and rockabilly styles that Hancock draws on but about "that gal with the blue dress on" and "a thousand miles of open desert road." As a songwriter, Hancock simply recycles the two-step rhythms, three-chord changes, 12-bar blues, four-lane highways, and two-women troubles of his favorite old records. He invests this ordinary material with exceptional life, however, thanks to the irresistible vitality of his vocals. Whenever he comes to a key word in a song, he stretches it out into an aching drawl before turning it into a low growl or a high yodel. Joe Ely's old pedal steel guitarist, Lloyd Maines, produced the album with admirable restraint, giving Hancock's voice lots of room but also egging it along with hints of Western swing and Dixieland. --Geoffrey Himes

Customer Reviews:

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

One of a kind.......2007-04-12

Yeah, another great Wayne album. He even does a little bit of a surf-rock thing on "Brand-New Cadillac", but it's all good.

Best Hancock album put out........2006-05-23

I have every Wayne Hancock album out and this album is my favorite with Thunderstorms & Neon signs slightly trailing it. For Me there is nothing better than the groove of "Johnny Law" and the pacing of Highway 54.....Those two songs alone are worth the price of admission. The reason I like this album the best is because you can tell Wayne's not holding back on this album with his voice..you get the yodels, you get the hollers, and its not as soaked with the slow blues. This is as close as you can get to Roots Rockabilly. Now I'm not saying that his other albums are bad by no means....I still cherish them, but This album & Thunderstorms you can still hear that young spark in his playing and voice.....defintitely the creap of the crop.
Wayne - Keep on fightin the good fight!

Another great album from Wayne "The Train" Hancock.......2000-10-29

This is just a fabulous record. Starting with "That's What Daddy Wants" right on throught to the end. My favorite is probably "Tag Along." A song about a woman who has many male friends, yet Wayne hopes she'll tag along with him.

If Wayne Hancock is playing live anywhere near you, do everything in your power to see him. His marathon live show may leave you exhausted, but it will also leave you with a performance milestone to reliish for years after.

Enjoy.

Great American Music!.......2000-05-13

"If misery was a crime then I'd always be serving time"...what a great lyric! Wayne is one of those artists that defy easy classification and that's what I like about him. I was blown away by this record when I first heard it. Passionate, visceral and original, Wayne knows how to make good ole American music with flair and style!

Wayne the Train Hancock.......1999-10-17

If you can't go see Wayne live, buy this album. His music is reminiscent of Hank Williams Sr, but has its own ideas and twists. It has a hard edge to it, but it can be sentimental.

oh heck, just listen to the clips and buy it for yourself. it is good stuff.
