Description
What the world has been waiting for - a Double Gatefold concept album of Country Waltzes from Hank Wangford and his band, The Lost Cowboys. Hank presents a mixture of Wangford originals and covers of classic Country Weeping Waltzes with guest tracks featuring Dolores Keane, Rev Larry Love of Alabama 3, and Billy Bragg.
Hank has always been fascinated by the waltz and its circular spinning rhythm. When the Waltz arrived in England it was shocking, a scandalously wicked filthy and dangerous dance. Hank was born in a Nazi-owned stately home next door to the ballroom where the Waltz was first danced in Regency society.
Hank says the Waltz is the difference between Rock 'n Roll and Country music. While Country is full of Waltzes and its saddest songs are in 3/4 time Waltzes are almost non-existent in Rock. Hank loves the saddest songs in Country and the Waltz. Put the two together and a Double album of Waltzes is the only way out.
