James Hand to Play Sportsmen July 31
Texas singer, songwriter and downright damn good honky tonker James Hand will perform a private party series show at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 31, at the Sportsmen's Tavern, Amherst Street near Grant Street in Buffalo.
Admission will be $10, and a limited and rather small number of tickets remain for the show, which can be purchased at the bar. If you think that the weather will be extra hot this week, so will the traditional country music.
Hand, 54, released his debut CD, "The Truth Will Set You Free," on Rounder Records last year, and it is a gem. Hand has been compared to classic country singers such as Hank Williams Sr., and the man hailed as a "throwback" to classic traditional country has recorded a fantastic CD that includes great songs such as "I've Got a Lot of Hiding to Do" and "Shadows Where the Magic Was," the latter a song of heartbreak, rage and self-destruction, somehow with a slightly upbeat sound. I was happy to play both of these songs this weekend on the two shows I got to DJ as a alumnus of Buffalo State College at WBNY 91.3 FM Saturday and Sunday.
Just listen to the CD and you'll see and hear that James Hand is the real deal, and if you're somehow not convinced, people such as Lloyd Maines, Ray Benson, Darrell K. Royal and Bob Cole are also singing his praises.
