Hadacol

Missouri origins rockers Hadacol are named after a historical alcohol beverage that once served like a sponsor for Hank Williams’ radio display — a fitted moniker for an organization that provides boozy, rocked-up nation occasionally augmented by smoldering Crazy Horse-like guitars. Brothers Fred and Greg Wickham, who was raised in a little town beyond Kansas City, began performing collectively in the first ’90s, ultimately adding bassist Richard Burgess along with a succession of drummers to around out the group that could evolve into Hadacol. 1996 noticed the stabilization from the lineup, with the help of drummer Scottie McCuiston. The group documented tracks for his or her debut recording with maker Lou Whitney, and in 1998 transformed their name from Big Iron to Hadacol and authorized with Checkered History. The effort, MUCH BETTER THAN This, premiered in early 1999. In the summertime of that yr, Brian Baker became the group’s drummer. With an evergrowing reputation like a brutal live act within the nervy, countrified custom of Jason as well as the Scorchers, Hadacol lowered their sophomore work, All in your mind (that was once more helmed by Lou Whitney), in November of 2001 on Slewfoot Information.
