	::: Wayne "The Train" Hancock :::
		Hancock's vision, as he puts it, is "to bring people together and make them feel good about music.
		Hancock figures he started writing songs around the age of twelve, and he did a lot of traveling around Texas, playing juke joints and belting out his originals for anyone who'd listen.
		A brilliant example of his Texas swing and juke joint rockabilly, the album was even a staple on the space shuttle Columbia, the bugle call of its title track used to wake the astronauts.

		Butch Hancock is an iconic figure in Texas music, renowned as a writer, architect, photographer and free-thinker, though he's not commonly perceived as a "political" artist.
		Butch's forte is wordplay, both as a solo artist and as a member of the eclectic band of Lubbock musicians known as the Flatlanders.
		Hancock suggests the space of the desert helped him in the writing, that the broad skies gave the songs room to breathe on their own.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Butch Hancock
		Butch would row a smaller craft with two passengers, Michael rowed a longer one carrying four of us, Jeff, a fisheries biologist, rowed two passengers and a mound of gear, and two of us took the Fun-Yak, a short, inflatable canoe.
		Butch talked about Far Flung's annual New Year's Eve rafting trips, which are guided by Hancock and Steven Fromholz, another seminal Austin singer-songwriter fallen under the spell of this corner of the world.
		There he was, Butch Hancock, the man whose wisdom had affected me so profoundly only hours before, in the guise of Babushka Spice - a long red-printed sari, an embroidered and sequined shirt tied up above the belly, and a long fl makeshift babushka covering his head.

	Clicks and Klangs - Butch Hancock - Rose From The Mountain by Jason Gross
		Though he started out as an architecture student in the '60's, Butch knew that college and the 9-5 grind weren't for him so he followed his muse into the honky-tonks and goat-roasts where it seemed that everyone and his dog had a guitar by their side.
		Half of Butch's roots lied in the ebb-and-flow of country in what fellow Texan Townes Van Zandt called "the blues and zippidy-do-dah" where the latter was in favour when the '70's, and the Flatlanders, began.
		Butch was so delighted with the end result that he's talked about doing the whole album over again with a band and releasing it with the acoustic version.

	Interview - Butch Hancock
		Butch: I'm thinking about "anything that anybody goes through." I think the rhythms of the city are amazing things, and of different cities are amazing things.
		Butch: Some time in high school, I think they were expecting us to come up with some theory about, "What we were gonna be in our lives;" What profession we wanted to go into.
		Butch: I think that's a built in desire, something that human beings are always gonna' be doing…no matter what.

	Butch Hancock's "War and Peace" - A Blue State Jukebox Review \| BuzzFlash
		Butch recently wrote me to say he was delighted that one of his new songs, "That Great Election Day," was played by Pacifica Radio's Amy Goodman the day before the recent election.
		Along the way here, Hancock puts his political thoughts to cool off on the window sill and tosses in a couple of songs without any topical axes to grind.
		There are three songs that appear late on the album which feel like Hancock penned around the same time or at least in the same state of mind.

	War and Peace Butch Hancock / CD / 2006
		On his first new solo album in nine years, Butch Hancock, like several of his singer/songwriter peers, has decided that the time has come to take on President George W. Bush and his invasion and occupation of Iraq.
		If it's nearly impossible to get through a notice about Hancock without mentioning Dylan, that's because Hancock's singing voice is so similar, not only in timbre but also in his phrasing, to Dylan's, to the extent that any average person, hearing only a sample of one of these tracks, would think it was Dylan.
		Hancock accentuates the similarity by setting his wordy, simply structured songs to folk and folk-rock arrangements that often recall mid-'60s Dylan when they don't hark all the way back to Guthrie.

		Butch Hancock ranks right up there with Leonard Cohen and Guy Clark on my list of all-time favorite songwriters.
		Many years ago i went to a COwboy Junkies show, and the opening act was Butch Hancock, of whom i had not heard.
		Butch delights in wordplay for its own sake -- "West Texas Waltz" contains some of the most surreal rhymes you will ever hear, and "Firewater (Seeks Its Own Level)" and "Like a Kiss on the Mouth" are right there, too.

	Butch Hancock interview
		Not exactly what you're call a 'careerist,' Butch has been heard many times but mainly through the mouthes of others: his songs are found all over records by Jimmie, Joe, Texas Tornados, Emmylou Harris and others, always sparkling up the proceedings.
		The fact that Butch is not a 'careerist' per se but just follows the pathes that he finds means that he isn't as much as a household name as his songs themselves are.
		Luckily, Butch himself has helped his cause by reissuing most of his solo work from the late '70's and '80's on his own Rainlight label.

	Butch Hancock : Own & Own - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Hancock, however, never seemed to worry too much about who was listening.
		While Own & Own didn't make Hancock a country-folk star, it did give a number of people a chance to find out just how good this eccentric songwriter from Lubbock really was.
		The lyrics seem forced and the crunchier guitar raises the noise level, meaning that the two main reasons listeners enjoy Hancock, his clever words and spare country-folk sound, are mysteriously missing.

		360 feature - 10.09.06 - Peace, prayer, protest: As lightning flashes in the western night sky, master songwriter Butch Hancock and his family tumble into their white pickup and rumble down an unpaved desert road toward town for a Saturday dinner.
		The memory of the turbulent summer sunset is still fresh -- a rosy Big Bend twilight blown away by sudden wind and faint splatters of rain, followed by the appearance of storm clouds in a swollen mushroom cap, rising and then receding with last light.
		The three children in the rear bench seat -- Hancock's 8-year-old son, Rory, and his two teenage stepdaughters, Katy and Helena -- call out for their dad to load his new album, "War and Peace," into the CD player.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Firewater, Butch Hancock, CD
		Butch Hancock's discography is somewhat difficult to piece together.
		Firewater is Hancock's fourth album, a thrown-together live set recorded at the Alamo Lounge in Austin in 1980 (and released the following year).
		For those accustomed to Hancock's loose performing style, though, the album will be worth picking up if for no other reason than the title track.

	Butch Hancock - War and Peace
		Butch Hancock's bitter political tone throughout suggests he may have much in common with The Dixie Chicks: He's likely ashamed to call George W. Bush a fellow Texan.
		Hancock plays a wide array of instruments - harmonica, guitars, bass, drums, banjo and keyboards, which makes this music even more personal.
		Hancock is at his most forlorn during the unaccompanied "Give Them Water," a poetic cry for universal peace.

	Butch Hancock : The Diamond Hill - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		After recording the spare masterwork West Texas Waltzes and Dust-Blown Tractor Tunes in 1978 and the eclectic double-LP The Wind's Dominion in 1979, Butch Hancock opted for a full-band outing on Diamond Hill in 1980.
		Even with a band, however, Hancock, with his croaky vocals and rich wordplay, is always front and center.
		Hancock has too often been compared to Bob Dylan, but the association makes sense if one states that Hancock, as original and idiosyncratic as any singer/songwriter, is one of the rare musical visionaries worth mentioning in the same sentence with Dylan.
