Waco connections in fall ‘Texas Music’ magazine
The latest issue of Texas Music magazine profiles a couple of musicians with Waco connections in connection with their new CDs.
Writer Holly George-Warren talks to Tokio resident and Old School country honky-tonker James Hand about his new CD, Shadow on the Ground, on Rounder Records. It’s the follow-up to his 2006 CD The Truth Will Set You Free, which shows Hand’s knack for writing tight, classic country songs as well as his ability to deliver them as Hank would. Shadow has Lloyd Maines and Ray Benson, two of the state’s topnotch producers, returning as producers, and fans who found Truth whetted their appetite for more Hand will find more food with Shadow.
Former Waco resident Walt Wilkins is the second musician getting ink in Texas Music, with a review of his new CD Vigil. It’s a quieter, more introspective album than his Diamonds in the Sun with his band the Mystiqueros and one with a backstory: When a fan gave him the money needed to record a new CD as he wanted, Wilkins chose to reciprocate the favor and donate the album’s proceeds to the Longevity Foundation, which targets premature aging diseases in children.
Wilkins and his Mystiqueros, incidentally, will be in town Nov. 21 to do a concert as part of the Historic Waco Foundation’s Talk of the Town fundraiser series.
