After What I Did Last Night

What do you get when you mix Nick Cave's growling menace with Elvis Presley's gold lam swagger and then add in Lee Hazlewood's twisted melodramas and a bit of Johnny Cash's hangover blues? A man named Henry Wagons - a musician Justin Townes Earle has described as like Dr. Seuss meets Conway Twitty. After What I Did Last Night... builds upon what Wagons started on his prior solo outing, the seven-song EP Expecting Company?. That record, which had The Kills/Dead Weather's Alison Mosshart among it's guest vocalists, suggested Wagons' unique take on a Hazlewood/ Sinatra duets album. American Songwriter praised it as a cool, downbeat and shadowy version of the duskier side of Americana. Henry found his time recording the album in Nashville to be a very exciting experience. I've got the taste, he says, adding: Good burgers on tap, fine bourbons, Southern gentlemen, kind manners and long stories. I suspect I'll be back in Nashville again to record one of these days.
