Terry Hanck - Always [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Soul and blues hipster, singer/sax man,Terry Hanck is a rare breed these days. Anyone whos followed the tall, tan tenor man over the years" on the road for a decade with Elvin Bishop, and at clubs, festivals, and county and state fairs for the past 20 with his own hard-sockin band" knows that hes one of the most formidable saxophonists in the blues and soul business. Terry Hanck has long been writing songs, but "Always" is the first CD on which every song is his. "Stylistically, my time frame goes from the early '50s to the early '70s. From the instrumental title track, inspired by Ben Webster's 1951 recordings with Johnny Otis, to the Motor City boogaloo sounds of "Stingy," the Twist-imbued "Deep Fried Twinkies," the Rolling Stones-esque treatment of "Quicksand," and, of course, the blues, Hanck cuts a wide stylistic swath..
