I got a CD sent to me about a month ago. I opened it and gave it a quick listen while behind the wheel and then popped it out once my destination was reached. there it sat in the car for a while, but a couple days ago while listening to a local radio station i actually heard one of the tracks from that same CD. i turned quick and saw the disc just sitting there in the back seat with the rest of the CD's I usually travel with and decided to slip it back in, and this time it clicked. It's very good, l'il did I know that when I first heard it a few weeks back the tracks were sinking in....
The CD is called "Tin Can Town" by a Virginia based act called Andy Hawk and The Train Wreck Endings,
The title track "Tin Can Town" as well as a few others on the CD sound like Bob Dylan classics as opposed to 2009 originals. but they are definitely catchy with a full upbeat sound. it's folk music with layered harps, mandolins. and those honest and miserable lyrics that makes Dylan such a great storyteller. And it also makes Andy Hawk and The Train Wreck Ending something that is certainly worth listening to. The CD is available at CD Baby, and you can also preview some of the tracks on his website.
enjoy
Thanks for the review, Joe! Keep up the good work...
Hawk and TWE have a unique take on classic folk - hooks plus literate lyrics. The boys have a new CD in the works which should be out very, very soon.
