A-Town Blues is the fourth studio album by the American country musician Wayne Hancock, released in 2001. [4] [5]
The album was recorded at Cedar Creek Studios, in Austin, Texas, and was produced by Lloyd Maines. [6] Hancock intended to make a simpler, less-produced album. [7] The band only minimally rehearsed the songs, and laid down the tracks in 20 hours; the results were mixed in two days. [8] A-Town Blues was made with Hancock's road band. [9] Many of the songs are about travel, highway pilgrimages, and the road. [10]
The Austin Chronicle wrote that the album "swings like crazy, there's some top-notch playing, and Hancock certainly knows his way around a country-blues song." [6] The Los Angeles Times thought that "the music is vibrant, as shimmering steel and chattering electric guitars dance over swinging bass lines." [7] The Columbus Dispatch wrote that "Hancock's tunes bring home the bacon with the stylistic accuracy of the old honky-tonk masters." [11]
