Waitin’ On Hayden Album Review

We have an album review for you this week coming from the young south Texas band, Waitin’ on Hayden.

"Doin' What We Do" is the first piece of work released by the up and coming Waitin' on Hayden.  They are a personal favorite of mine and well frankly, they are too damn good to keep a secret!  Track after track, they deliver that pure Texas Country sound. 

Waitin' On Hayden is an Americana/Texas Country band from the sand hills of La Vernia, Texas. The group is made up by, lead singer Darrell Gibbons playing the acoustic guitar, Rusty Shackleford on the pedal steel and electric rhythm guitar, Hayden Krueger on the lead electric guitar, Dalton Dennehy on the bass guitar, Doug Lewis on the drum kit, and Ben Stanush mixing it all together from behind the sound board. They are big Texas A&M Aggies and their lyrics show it with several Aggie landmarks like Aggie football games, tailgating and drinkin’ on Northgate.

Lead singer, Darrell Gibbons has a deep voice and delivers powerful vocals. This album does a great job of showcasing their versatility as they capture the upbeat dance songs and all those sad songs about women.  But they can speed it up and do so on several the songs on this album.

You’ve got to love when those picks get hot and the guitar strings start crying. You can hear the Bass and lead guitars create funky sounds in their song, “I Pick 10” where Lewis sings, “I pick 6 but sometimes I Pick 10.”
