Whatever this man sings is pure. Forget studio engineering. Turn off the gizmos. Just listen and you will know a true heart wrote the warm words that touch our souls. Why has it taken so long for the world to notice?
Went to hear James Hand for the first time in several years. Deja vu all over again. Same show that I had witnessed years before. How about a little effort James? something new? Just like the Croc Dundee movie where CD turns on the tv for the first time in 30 years and sees the same "Lucy Show." That is what I saw. lol
James Hand is the a Country Music treasure. You owe it to yourself to include one of his CD's in your library. Give him a listen and you will be happy that you did. Close your eyes and allow yourself to be carried away by a true Texas Trubador. All I can Say is Hank really did do it this way!!!People such as Ray Benson, Loyd Maines, Willie Nelson, Ray Price, George Hamilton IV, Billy Joe Shaver, Kris Kristofferson and other music industry people from Austin, to Nashville, to London have all been knocked over by James Hands dedication to REAL Country Music. Songwriter and Singer, if you want to hear the real deal, catch James Hand live.
Just started hearing him on XM radio.
I think Slim is as good as any Country singer known. I just got his touring schedule and you can bet I will catch a show soon. The song "Why don't you hold me" blew me away.
Also I think the "new county" is not country and it sucks.
I've grown up singing uncle jame's songs..and they never get old. He truly is the REAL DEAL. I love his music, its honest and true and you cant find much of that today anymore. As slim would say to me..All my love,
Megan

IT UP THE GREAT COUNTRY MUSIC
James Hand is Mr Honky Tonk. Someone should send Trace Adkins James CD's so he would know what real honky tonk music is suppose to sound like.
I heard a James Hand song on the radio while driving through Austin one afternoon. I'd not heard any of his music before, but now I can't get enough of it. Pure, tradtional, heart-breaking, honky-tonk music. A mix between old Hank, Merle, and Buck. But in the end it's just good music.
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
Good songs even if they've been heard before. I was dissapointed to hear herb steiner left but on this CD you get Lloyd Maines and Redd Volkaert... it swings high and it swings low... GET THE CD if you love your country twang and free from "epic-drawn-out-long story short" lyrics... this is pure honky tonk simple and real
