About The Record:

Swinging Things, by Harry Wade, is a sincere and rootsy collection that showcases Nashville's Western Swing style through loyally performed covers of classic country tunes. The album features a laid-back vocal approach from the middle-aged artist, blending cowboy country elements with folk influences in a revivalist spirit akin to artists like Red Steagall or Asleep at the Wheel. Standout tracks include heartfelt renditions of Faded Love, Wild Side of Life, and The Bottle Let Me Down, which highlight traditional themes of love, heartbreak, and the honky-tonk life as fan favorites among Western Swing enthusiasts. Produced in collaboration with Rayburn Anthony and Glenn Ray, it stands as a genuine, unflashy tribute to the genre's history without major commercial breakthroughs.
