Thank you for coming to the HammerState fan page! I am the lead singer for the group. Memphis native Joe Boone is the guitar player and producer for us. My younger brother Scott "The Crow" on drums, and Patrick Mullins on bass.

We had our first official practice on October 1, 2008. We decided on a name rather quickly--the truckers call Alabama the hammer state because when you get to the state line, you can "put the hammer down"! We chose to follow the path set by the Yardbirds and the Rolling Stones, learn up a bunch of Delta blues songs and rock them up to make them sound fresh.

I want to share the joy of making music with my MFA friends, so I will post our recordings on this page. You may find interesting how recordings evolve into their finished versions!

I hope to see this project grow and be successfull, and with the amazing talent involved, we can't fail if we don't quit. Thank you for your interest and I hope you enjoy HAMMERSTATE!

Joe hired Cary Jobe (formerly of "Southern Living" magazine) to photograph us at Sloss Furnaces here in Birmingham on December 10. The pics turned out great, and you can see them on hammerstate.com. I would like to ask you all to google "hammerstate" and click on hammerstate.com so we can get McAfee to quit throwing up the scary "we don't know this site" message. We are having our demo tracks mastered in Memphis this weekend, and have got copywrite liscensing we need to publish our stuff legitamately yesterday. We hope to have a complete package by years end, maybe by Christmas.
Thank you for your interest and Merry Xmas!

Drinkin' Muddy Water.wma This is a Yardbirds cover, sort of. It was originally discarded, due to some errors and pitch problems with my performance, but upon relisten and some studio wizardry, it has turned out to be pretty strong. The first half of the song is a pretty straight cover, and then it breaks down in the second half and takes off! I like especially the part at the end where I say " You done me wrong, wrong I say ! I'm leavin'..." and then I slam the vocal booth door. I think it has a verry Led Zep sound. Glad it was picked up.
By the way , "Crazy Face" has been dropped from our demo, so the only place anyone is likely to hear it is right here!

Alabama Train.wmaHey, I think I figured this out! Alabama Wilman was a Jerry Reed song. It and Alabama Train were recorded on 11/19/08. They are part of an Alabama collection we are putting together in honor of the Crimson Tide's run for the SEC Championship.
