Viper of Melody

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,
