Austin staple forges a connection between classic country and the Great American Songbook
Monte Warden has been a staple of the Austin music scene since leading his band Whoa, Trigger! when he was a teenager in the Eighties. And for good reason: Nearly 40 years of craft and heart have made him a tunesmith and vocalist of rare distinction. After decades of work in country music, Warden forged a connection between classic country and the Great American Songbook, and formed the Dangerous Few with loyal sidekick Brent Wilson on bass and trumpeter/arranger Erik Telford to exploit it.
The group’s second album after a long-running residency at Parker Jazz Club ,’s high-energy tunes like “Silhouette” and “Waxahachie Hoochie Coo” contain enough joyous swing to fit under the rockabilly or big-band umbrellas, and “Lovesong Every Day” falls from a pop tradition more Sixties than Forties.
