Halden Wofford & the Hi Beams -- Sinners & Saints [LP]By Jeanie Straub
Colorado Music Buzz
Sinners & Saints, the third CD by Halden Wofford & the Hi-Beams, is appropriately named because this CD, released in August, is as close to a religious experience as you’re going to get for the remainder of the year. Wofford & the Hi-Beams are known all along the Front Range and beyond for their original sound that is all classic Texas honky tonk and western swing -- steel guitars, snare drum, stand-up bass, mandolins, acoustic guitars -- overlaid with Wofford’s distinctive vocals that recall Hank Williams Sr., Buddy Holly and
Bob Wills. Band members: Bret Billings (pedal and non-pedal steel guitars, harmonica, dobro and Rocket One-ten lap steel); Ben O’Connor (upright bass); Greg Schochet (electric and acoustic guitars and mandolins); Damon Smith (drum set and all percussion); Halden Wofford (acoustic guitar, piano and vocals)
