Wayne Hancock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wayne "The Train" Hancock is a country musician.
Hancock was born in 1965. He began writing songs at the age of 12, and at 18 won a talent contest called the "Wrangler County Showdown." Immediately after the contest, he was shipped to boot camp, and served four years with the United States Marine Corps. In 1994 he performed in the musical Chippy. Hancock released his debut album in 1995, and has continued to tour and record albums since then. He lives in Texas.
His music is comparable to that of Hank Williams and Hank Thompson.
Hank Williams III, who is oft compared to Hancock, has recorded some of Hancock's material.
