Country singer Wayne “The Train” Hancock, who’s out touring behind his just-released “Tulsa” album, was interviewed by the Raleigh-Durham News-Observer.
The interviewer sounded skeptical of Hancock’s love of Tulsa, but Hancock set him straight:
Q: On the title track of your new album, you make Tulsa, Okla., sound like a mighty exotic place. Is Tulsa really that exciting a town?
A: It is when I go there! It’s a pretty conservative town, but I’ve been playing there for years and I’ve got a lotta friends, and they all come out. I like the layout, the neon, Route 66 goes through there. So in my mind, it’s always a swingin’ town.
Good for him. I know a hippie in Red Fork who’s ready to buy him a Big Okie and all the peanut butter truffles he can eat next time he’s in town, just because he gets it. 🙂
