Stylist Steps Out On His own.
Alan Subola is the guitarist and vocalist with a couple of Minnesota rocking combos – The Vibro Champs and Reverse Cowgirl – but this solo release features songs of his which ”various bands felt were too self indulgent for inclusion on their albums”. Some of it might not fit the orthodox rockabilly formula (Champagne Wine And Cigarettes is swinging late-nite jazz, Nobody’s Girl has a Hammond organ), but it hangs together nicely. The guitar work is excellent throughout and there’s a sense of humour at work here – one song’s called You Smell Like My Ex, and there’s a co-production credit for JR Hartley. Good natured uptempo country boppers such as One Hit Wonder would have gone down well at the Opry circa 1958, as would Too Gone For Too Long, while Out With The In Crowd is pure class.

With a sad heart I ask everyone to attend this Benefit. Brad was one our closest and dearest friends. Due to his tragic passing, we are raising money for his beautiful daughters' education funds. I know in these trying economic times, it seems difficult to give. This is why it is so important that we spread the word and all dig deep if nothing else with effort in order to help bring some safety back into 2 little girls lives. Please help by forwarding this on and please please please attend. Thank you for your time.

This video made me think of you. I think Nate was singing this before Michael Buble. Maybe Bill will wear the costume one wed if you ask him. Doubt it though.
See you at the Car Show in Apple Valley on Saturday!

The "Train" Rolls In By Tom Weber Post-Bulletin, Rochester MN
BYRON -- Wayne "the Train" Hancock, whose traditional country music is strongly influenced by Hank Williams and Bob Wills, will perform at 8 p.m. April 25 at the Byron American Legion Post.
Hancock calls himself a "hillbilly with attitude," and says he wants to take back country music from the over-commercialization of recent decades. As a clue to his viewpoint, Hancock is based in Austin, Texas, rather than the traditional country hometown of Nashville.
"I'm like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville," Hancock has said.
The AllMusic Guide says of Hancock, "A rare breed of traditionalist, one who imbues his retro obsessions with such high energy and passions that his songs never feel like the museum pieces he's trying desperately to preserve. "
Hancock's latest CD, "Viper of Melody," is produced by Lloyd Maines, who has produced albums for Wilco, Uncle Tupelo and the Dixie Chicks.
Tickets are $15, available at the door. Opening act is Brother Music Sister Rhythm. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m.
