Look Out

Product Description Look Out! signals the arrival of vocalist/saxophonist Terry Hanck on Delta Groove with a rollicking blast of New Orleans R&B, West Coast blues, and old school rock 'n' soul. The album was recorded at Greaseland Studios in San Jose, California by current Nightcats' ace guitarist Kid Andersen, who also generously lends his incredible six-string attack to the proceedings. Hanck earned his second Blues Music Award nomination in 2011 for his skillful mastery of his instrument, a fact long recognized by legendary slide guitarist Elvin Bishop with whom he toured with throughout much of the 70's and 80's. Housed in a gatefold LP style cardboard sleeve. Review Saxman and vocalist Terry Hanck was born in Chicago and first made a name for himself playing with Elvin Bishop in the 1970s. He can be heard blowing sax on Bishop's big hit Fooled Around and Fell in Love. He currently lives on the West Coast and often gigs in Florida, too. I saw him perform at The Back Room in Boca Raton a few years back and he blew me away. Terry is the coolest cat in the room. He has put out a number of excellent self-produced CDs over the last few years. This new one, his first major label release, is the best CD I have heard all year. The record cover says 'Greasy Soul Rockin' Blues' and that sums up how Terry plays. He is a fine vocalist and demonstrates his skills on some slow ballads. Guitarist 'Kid' Andersen played on and produced this CD, which contains some nice originals and obscure covers. If there is justice in the music world, Terry will finally hit it big. --Scott 'Hambone' Hammer, ChicagoBluesGuide.com The cover of this disc states 'Greasy Soul Rockin' Blues' and for once, there is truth in the advertising. This is the kind of stuff that the King Record label was built on - the kind of records you used to hear all day long in the 1950's to early 1960's. It's not surprising that Terry Hanck grew up listening to the hot R&B and blues songs of the time. What is surprising is that the the 66 year-old Hanck is playing and singing with energy level of musicians several decades younger. His brawny tenor sax calls out like a voice in the wilderness, one minute soothing your soul and the next beckoning you to the dance floor. Equally impressive is his singing throughout the disc. Hanck manages to change his tone enough on several tracks that you might think so
