Synopsis

Amazon.com

Texas honky-tonker James Hand sinks his quavering Hank Williams-style yowl into songs of broken hearts, busted dreams, and beer joints where "happy hour" is a long way from happy. What sets him apart from all the other would-be Hanks, though, is the depth of gloom in his songs and the desperate intensity of his voice. In Hand's dark night of the soul, even the uptempo numbers have a hangdog despondency to them that speaks of sleepless nights and hours of self-destructive torment. This is modern-day working-class Texas country that makes efforts by fresh-faced singer-songwriters seem like fabric-softener commercials. It's raw, searing, pitch-black stuff, coming to you direct from some haunted honky-tonk Hades in the Lone Star State. --Jerry Renshaw

CD Reviews

One Great Singer and An All Around Great Guy

B. Arriola | Waxahachie, Texas | 11/08/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"James Hand continues to define what country music is and ought to be. I have the honor and priviledge of knowing and playing music with James Hand and I consider him a true and trusted friend. Mr. Hand's unique singing style and truly sincere personality fill me with a level of comfort when I am around him. His heart-wrenching ballads continue to make me shudder, the first I hear them and each time thereafter. The quirky up-beat songs get my blood going and make me want to tap my toes. I can honestly say that if you love good country music and appreciate having a man bear his soul to you, then you should definitely consider purchasing this CD or any other which bears the name James Hand on it."

Real country here

Michael J. Lednicky | West, TX United States | 10/09/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first saw James Hand in his hometown of Tokio when I was 18. I'd never heard anything like it before and still haven't. If you close your eyes, you'd think it WAS Hank Williams, Sr. His songs come from a place where not many people can reach, and definitely not a place that those pseudo-country, Nash-vegas pop artists can reach. This is what country music was once all about and still is for some people."

A natural country artist

"I have seen James Hand live on several occasions and own both of his CD'S. James has a natural talent for real country music. His music is original and comes from the heart. I enjoy to hear someone who is real, and you can hear his pain in his music. His voice is unique, although it does have traces if Hank Wuilliams Sr. Anyone who enjoys real country music will love his CD."
