On Monday, April 4, the Hot Club of Cowtown will appear at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, PA. The venue is located at 3025 Walnut StreetShowtime is 7:00pm.
What Makes Bob Holler arrives on the heels of 2009's Wishful Thinking, an Americana radio Top 100 album on which HCCT blended their love of hot jazz and Western swing with original songs, a Tom Waits cover and forays into more eclectic territory. The Austin Chronicle's Jim Caliguiri called it the Cowtowners at their peak" and David Eldridge, in The Washington Times, describes the disc as one of the year's most unexpected listening pleasures."
What Makes Bob Holler is something of an 180-degree swing from Wishful Thinking's more eccentric set list. It is the first time HCCT has focused on only one style for an entire album and they are proud enough of the results to express interest in doing more. There are so many great songs that we didn't get to," says James. We're going to have to make a box set, eventually, but we're just going to make it piecemeal," adds Smith with a laugh.
While the new disc focuses Bob Wills music, HCCT's live show will remain a engaging mix of what the band does bestwhatever moves them at the moment. James reveals that the band often plays without a set list. We have faith in the system that is the band. This energy that we plug into and it takes us away." Smith describes their shows as like a rock 'n' roll show" and people pick up on the energy and the sincerity."
