Wayne Hancock (USA)
A Town Blues

We on El Toro have been long time fans of Wayne Hancock and we are proud to announce the we have licesed his fourth and newest CD, originally released in the USA by Bloodshot, for its release in Europe. Wayne possesses one of the most instantly identifiable voices in roots music and wraps it around whacked-out hillbilly barnburners, dusty desert ballads, and Hank Williams meets George Gershwin dance floor warmers. Backing him is a band of blazing hot players who swing like they fell out of the cradle clutching Bob Wills records and Duke Ellington teething rings.

The CD has 6 bonus tracks not included in the original version taken from the "South Austin Sessions" a LIMITED EDITION CD-EP available only on Bloodshot's web site and on Wayne's tour. These six song shows off Wayne's more jazzy side. Hot guitar and trombone help Wayne expand his sound.

Hot Rhythm & Booze
We Gotta Get With It!

CD PRICE: £9.99

Although they have been active for more then 10 years, this french band had only a "10 inch" out up to now. Justice has been done and here is their first full length CD.

Influenced by the sounds of the late 50's and early 60's, this band has a particular place in the vintage scene.These recordings prove it with some rough rock'n'roll in the style of that era, that some call "white-rock". The CD is highlighted by 5 original compositions that fit perfectly among the covers of lesser known songs that fill this album.
If you like powerful rock'n'roll with high energy and screaming guitars, you can't go wrong with this one!

Mr. All Night Rock

CD PRICE: £9.99

Sun Recording artist Glenn Honeycutt first longplayer, 40 years after releasing his last single - authentic rockabilly like in the 50s. Backed by Randy Rich & The Poor Boys!

Glenn became a legend for recording a dozen songs in the legendary Sun Recording Studio in Memphis between 1956 and 1958. Only one single has been released - Sun 264 I'll Be Around/ I'll Wait Forever - by Sam Philips. Elvis Presley just had left Sun Records and Sam was looking for somebody who could have a similar success - why not try Elvis cousin Glenn Honeycutt ? Their grandmothers were sisters, but Glenn had never the chance to meet Elvis.

11 of these songs have been written by Glenn Honeycutt, only My Heart (#9) has been written by Randy Rich. Its not easy to pick out the best songs, but our feedback so far was the best on A Love Song (#12) and Promise Me Love (#10).
