Walker & The Texas DangersThere was no time for rest after Brett Walker and his newly deputized Texas Dangers made their New Years Eve debut in Fort Worth. Thrilling a packed house full of wound-up Wayne Hancock fans on a Friday night would be but the first order of business for 2011. Just hours later, Walker and guitarist Dan Hardick sought refuge for their weary, red-eyed souls in the domain of Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist/recordist Andy Gibson. The privilege of recording a full-length album with Andy, who also recorded Hank Williams IIIs Straight to Hell is Something I dont have the words to describe, Walker says, also thanking Bob Wayne for the referral. The new CD, Pay the Fiddler, comes out on April 2 in Fort Worth- on a shared bill with Bob Wayne and his Outlaw Carnies. U.S.tour dates will follow.The Texas Dangers prefer to use a traditional bluegrass instrumentation to hammer home Walkers tales of sorrow, death, urban sprawl, and farm cats. A lively and animated frontman, Parker Countys own Brett Walker balances a delicate and dangerous affair with his two true loves: the hay patch and the stage. Dutifully, he answers the urgent call to tell his heartworn tales of desperation. California-born rambler Jim Case, a protg of world-famous banjo picker Alan Munde, holds down the 5-string and executes the office of director while Texan-born Dan Hardick bangs out the rhythm on the acoustic guitar. The band draws from a pool of exceptional fiddlers from show to show. Walker and his deputies hope that those who attend shows will either run for their lives or get to hoppin a Do Si Do. I want people to be able to relate to the music after hearin it and for some to realize I aint doin nothin they couldnt be doin if they wanted to!
