Description:

2009 release from the Alt-Country favorite. Viper Of Melody is a deft proclamation of Wayne the Train's unwavering belief in the curative energy of juke joint swing. Man, there ain't no problem that can't be salved by his brand of stripped down, intensely rhythmic amalgam of Hillbilly Swing, Honky Tonk, Rockabilly and Hep-Cat Boogie. It's an infectious and unpretentious sound that tells quotidian tales of driving your life away, throwing your money away, and having holes in your roof and holes in your shoes. Even when he sings on the hard times like "the rich folks call it recession, but the poor folks call it depression" in 'Workin' at Workin'', it's done with a big smile and the dance floor is still full,

3A little slow on the tempo  Feb 01, 2010
I am a fan and was anxious to hear the new release. I was dissappointed. There is just something off here. It's like they recorded the songs at 4:30 AM after a long night. I wished I could turn a knob and speed the tempo up 10%. It just sort of drags. The playing is good and all, but it does not have the energy and vitality of his previous recordings. I hear the same of the new Big Sandy release. I know they are friends. Did they get the same producer or studio that dragged them both down?

5The Best WH CD  Jun 02, 2009
All of Wayne Hancock's CDs have gotten more listener enjoyable since his first release in 1995. The melodies and band guitars keep improving.
Viper of Melody CD is by far the very best WH recording ever. All of the songs are enjoyable, a few are much better than enjoyable, and two are so outstanding that they should become country classics (High Rolling Train & Lonesome Highway). If these two were recorded by anyone with lots of radio airplay, they would be #1 on charts.
If you're a WH fan, or if you would like to experience fabulous country music, order this album. It will probably become the favorite CD of your lifetime.

5Another Wayne Hancock gem.  May 12, 2009
Wayne Hancock has added another gem of an album of country-hillbilly swing. If you love the music from Wayne's prior albums, then you'll love Viper of Melody. If you hate Wayne Hancock's music, then you'll hate'em even more, because he's the same as he ever was, and that suits me just fine.

5Similar to the earlier albums  May 11, 2009
I liked Hancock's previous album, _Tulsa_, but felt like it was a little flashy and the songwriting was getting a little tired.

Not to worry. _Viper_ is, once again, less repetitive and more like Hancock's earlier material. A little more rootsy and a little less "produced." Really good stuff.
