Critical Reviews:

“The sound of the record is the pure essence of Pecos Hank (aka Hank Schyma of the Southern Backtones). He conjures up intimate, syrupy tremolo guitars to support his beautiful and haunting west Texas voice. In this solo album, Hank channels his fundamental story teller and weaves simple, mythic narratives into hypnotic anthems. His vocal delivery is similar to Eliott Smith or Leonard Cohen but without the emotional baggage.” -Dan Workman of Sugar Hill Studios“

Hank is part animal, part bad a** musician. He understands nature and has instincts that are not typical in humans. This comes out in his songwriting and his music. He is authentic in his approach and it’s obvious it’s not calculated. I have never met a person that is more in the moment than him -- on and off the stage.” -Shaun Brennan of Splice Records

The beautiful "El Reno Blues" plays like a nighttime drive toward a strange town... Like the gypsy swing of a violin and heavy guitar reverb that felt like an old Western soundtrack. Jo Bird's viola greatly contributes to the feeling as does Todd Sommer's percussion which is understated yet ominous." Andrew Dansby / Houston Chronicle
