Album DescriptionProduced by Lloyd Maines (Wilco, Richard Buckner, Joe Ely, and, yes, the Dixie Chicks), "A-Town Blues" is loose and live, baby. Pedal steel, guitars, and buckhouse bass?that?s it. No trickery or effects, just the finely honed chops of a band that?s been known to play 200+ dates in a year. They swing through a set of songs that reflect Wayne's scorn for the soulless, pocketbook-driven sounds that ooze out of Nashville; songs that reminisce about old friends and family; songs that sing praises to the road and songs that rue the hazards of hooch.
