Heart of the Matter

by Hank and Claire

  • Compact Disc (CD)

    Our debut album released in 2010. Four Hank Payne originals plus covers of Tom Paxton, Michael P. Smith, Bill Gallaher, Chuck Pyle, Lou and Peter Berryman and others. Whether doing a cover song or one of Hank’s originals, Hank and Claire are all about letting the power of music do its deeply healing work—touching you in the heart or the funny bone, or maybe both. You’ll hear traditional and contemporary folk, standards, swing, and singer-songwriter material, sung a cappella or paired with guitar. Each one tells a story, inspires good harmonies, and touches you—in the heart, in the funny bone, or in the memory of who you are and where you came from. Listen to all 15 tracks on Soundcloud (soundcloud.com/hank-and-claire/sets)

about

“Enjoy sweet harmonies, a bit of sentiment, some fun, and a big dose of heart? You'll love Hank and Claire.” -Portland Folklore Society review

“This first CD from this new duo is a winner. It’s rare to find first efforts so well done. I marvel at the blending of not just their voices and instruments, but their obvious personal connection which adds a delightful robustness and maturity that is truly wonderful. In their case, the sum is greater than the parts. I look forward to much more music from these two fine musicians.” - NW HOOT review
