"Review From Herve Oudet"


I've been spinning Andy's CD since I found it in the mail. Listen to Old Chevy and its certain "je ne sais quoi" (in French!) as well as Reason for leavin'. They're not sampled here so you should get the disc at once! I love those guys who are bold enough to release over 60 minutes of their own words and music, and who are damn right as every second is worth the price of admission. I'm glad to welcome Andy in my personal Pantheon with Jeffrey Foucault and Danny Schmidt, two other masters of stripped-down acoustic music.

Broken Wheel... (Hayden's Ferry/Rustic)

Frieght Train Boogie website
This New York City based Iowa native is not afraid to tackle big issues in his country songs, whether it's religious tolerance and fanaticism ("In My Blood") or militarism ("Soldier's Song"). But he's even more resonant singing about commonplace subjects such as long- term relationships, as in The Sweetest Thing. (Not surprisingly, his wife Nancy provides harmony as well as some lead vocals throughout) And the all too true Honky Tonks laments the state of modern country music from the viewpoint of an unrepentant, grizzled troubadour, stating "this crowds a little too beautiful for a country boy like me". Hunt is a songsmith with an acoustic guitar but the arrangements sometimes rock with a Steve Earle/Lucinda Williams feel, as on the opener "Momma's Crazy". And to drop another name (as reviewers are bound to do), fellow New Yorker Chip Taylor is not a bad comparison for Hunt's brand of back porch sophistication.
