Early life [ edit ]
James Edward Hand was born on July 7, 1952, in Waco, Texas .[2] [3] McLennan County, Texas ,[3] horse training and driving a truck . About his work with animals, Hand said, “People act like it’s some big deal, like this whole horse whispering thing. But I’ll tell you something – you can whisper to ’em, you can get down on your knees and act like ’em, but the horse knows you ain't a horse."[4]
As a teenager, Hand joined a small band and began performing in honky-tonks and roadhouses across Central Texas. At some point he started to write and perform his own songs.[5] [6]
In 2014, Hand played a fictional version of himself in the independent film Thank You a Lot Austin Film Society 's website noted that Hand and co-protagonist Blake DeLong , playing his son, had a chemistry that was "hilariously realistic".[7]
About the life he sings about, Hand once remarked: "I don't know if I've been more blessed or cursed. But I've been diversified."[8]
Critical appraisal [ edit ]
Reviewers have generally emphasized the "authenticity" of Hand's songs.[9] [10] [11] The Washington Post '[12] Willie Nelson .[13]
Death and legacy [ edit ]
On June 8, 2020, Hand died from complications of heart failure at the Providence Healthcare Center in Waco, Texas .[3] [14]
On February 26, 2021, Charley Crockett released a tribute album to Hand titled 10 For Slim: Charley Crockett Sings James Hand .[15] Rolling Stone ,[16] The Boot ,[17] Austin American-Statesman ,[18] Forbes ,[19] Saving Country Music ,[20] American Songwriter [21]
