With a "big" horn tone and a nonchalant sense of swing- and the occasional Jr.Walker-esque shriek- Terry Hanck mines the same retro veins as do throwback masters Kim Wilson and Jimmie Vaughan. At home with vintage r&b, blues, or classic rock-and-roll balladeering, the award-winning saxophonist/vocalist shows to be both a savvy writer and interpreter; his own "Smooth Tyrone", "Here It Comes" and "Come On Back" standing out as well as workups of Bobby Charles' "Why People Like That?" and the Howlin' Wolf/Willie Dixon gem "Howlin' For My Darlin'". Guest keyboard ace Jim Pugh and band member guitarist Johnny "Cat" Soubrand turn in solid work as well. - Duane Vehr

TAKE EFFECT - by Tom Haugen 8/10
A long running tenor sax extraordinaire, Terry Hanck has won multiple blues awards and its pretty easy to see why. Armed with an incredible, inimitable set of pipes and a penchant for New Orleans spirited R&B and Chicago blues and soul, as well as Memphis flavored rocknroll, hes not your typical bluesman, and I Still Get Excited isnt your standard blues album.
I Still Get Excited starts the listen right with bluesy guitars, rollicking keys and playful horns on an explosive retro-rocker, and Smooth Tyrone follows with a soulful spirit as horns initially take center stage on the glorious display of a frisky boogie vibe. Near the middle, Come On Back, with Rick Estrin, brings a call and response approach with the instruments as the punchy keys and bouncy setting make this one of the best, and Why People Like That? brings a heavier percussive influence on the cautious rocker.
Towards the end, Spring, with Tracy Nelson, offers a duet of the most soulful kind, and Feel So Bad ends the listen with a lively beat, jazz undertones and plenty of warm guitar licks. Though theres 6 covers against the 5 originals, Hanck and his band make every tune their own, as the aptly titled record moves, shuffles and shakes with a contagiousness thats easy to admire and hard to forget.
