Low Budget

1994, CrossCut Records CCD 11046

"File under rock, folk, blues, pop, bluegrass and country": 15 songs, 11 of which written by Thomas Erb. Covers of Mark Knopfler's "Six Blade Knife", Robert Johnson's "32-20 Blues" and J.J. Cales "Mona". In a TV-interview the nice man from Oklahoma said, "I think I like this version better than mine."

Also included is a fresh version of the traditional "Stagger Lee". The album was recorded over a period of three years, mostly in improvised rehearsal studios. About half of the tracks feature different bands, the rest is Hank solo, overdubbing away. The CD was also released in the US.

"Hot-blooded country rock merged with eerie Deep South swamp sounds and rural blues influences comprise the bill of fare. The no-nonsense Swiss crew strut their stuff like they've stalked Alabama all their lives."
