Hot Club of Cowtown: What Makes Bob Holler (Reviews)

Hot Club of Cowtown "Oklahoma Hills"
Not just a genre exercise, Holler finds Hot Club of Cowtown paying tribute to a legend with a ton of their own personality. Hot Club of Cowtown have never been strangers to covering older songs. Their sound, a seamless blend of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli-style hot jazz and Bob Will-style western swing, means that they can mix originals and covers and never feel like they're leaving a sepia-toned past. Usually, you can count on a few covers on their records. At worst, the band's work can sound a little too indebted to its influences, but they're [...]

ReviewShine Wednesday: Swing Time with Hot Club of Cowtown and The Great Recession Orchestra

ReviewShine Wednesday: Swing Time with Hot Club of Cowtown and The Great Recession Orchestra Every Wednesday, I feature a brief review of at least one album that has been submitted to me through the ReviewShine website.

First up is The Hot Club of Cowtown and their new CD, What Makes Bob Holler . The Hot Club has been one of the [...]

Hot Club of Cowtown: What Makes Bob Holler

Hot Club of Cowtown: What Makes Bob Holler Austin trio salutes the King of Western Swing Hot Club of Cowtown's affinity for Bob Wills has always been a fundamental element of their sound, but the ad hoc covers of their early years have taken fifteen years to ripen into a full-fledged tribute. The trio long ago settled into their winning combination Texas swing and gypsy jazz, but here they lean heavily on the former, with Elena James sawing her fiddle more sweet than hot, and Whit Smith swinging his guitar more polite than fiery. Both James and Smith sing in the style [...]

Hot Club Of Cowtown - Academy 3 Manchester - 23rd July 2009

Hot Club Of Cowtown - Academy 3 Manchester - 23rd July 2009 Website Myspace Hot Club of Cowtown appeared at the Academy 3 Manchester last Thursday, visiting Manchester for the first time in 5 years. The band followed a two set structure with no support act. While the crowd warmed to the fast paced swing numbers, it was on the slower numbers that the band's songwriting ability shone through. It was easy to see how the band came to the attention of and supported Bob Dylan with a vibe very reminiscent of his Love & Theft album. All [...]

Update - Jason Mraz, Upcoming Shows

Keep a lookout next Monday for Past Show No.4, a recording of a Jason Mraz show I made in Manchester. I've got a few shows lined up in the coming weeks, including Derek Trucks Band & Joseph Arthur. As long as the recording comes out o.k. expect to see the Derek Trucks show on the site in the next fortnight, along with Hot Club Of Cowtown before month end. Joseph Arthur distributes his own recordings of shows via his website, so i won't be taping that one.

Update - Ben Kweller, Upcoming Shows

The next 'Past Show' will be upped next week and feature Ben Kweller on a visit to the UK. Currently the only Open Taping band I will be seeing this month are 'Hot Club of Cowtown', while I also have 'The Low Anthem' and 'Okkervil River' lined up later in the year. If you know of any open taping bands touring the UK in the near future, let me know via the email on the right of the blog and i'll see if i can make the show
