Hanna-McEuen – Tried and True
First cousins and sons of two members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jonathan and Jaime perform original pop-country tunes with beautiful harmonies. Special guest Albert Lee plays his signature guitar.
Hanna-McEuen is a very hot country duo comprised of first cousins Jamie Hanna and Jonathan McEuen. You may have noticed that Jonathan McEuen gets a lot of play on our little label because he is one of the most talented people that I have ever met and a genuinely wonderful person. I was thrilled to get the chance to record this amazing group using our audiophile techniques AND that Albert Lee would be able to join in for a tune. Along with Jesse Siebenberg and J.T. Russell, this four-man band kicks out great songs with close harmonies and terrific solos.
Hanna-McEuen released the debut CD on Dreamworks Records in 2005, which produced a couple of charting hit singles. “Something Like A Broken Heart” reached Number 38 on the Billboard Top 100 chart and is included on this release in high definition audio with the video of the session.
Guitar legend and former member of the Emmylou Harris band, Albert Lee joined the band for “Fool Around”. T.J. Russell and Jesse Siebenberg round out the “sons of famous musicians” nature of this band. T.J. is the son of Leon Russell and Jesse’s father is Jim Siebenberg, the drummer for Supertramp.
This project has a lot of compelling bonus features including:
• Video from the Las Vegas House of Blues
• Interivews
• Accompanying the band in the tour bus
• Photo gallery
• Complete Bios
