Says Terry: "It's all about rhythm and humor. Louis Jordan influenced EVERYONE in my field--R&B, Blues and Soul. 'Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens,' 'Jack, You're Dead,' 'Saturday Night Fish Fry,' 'Brother, Beware.' Those 'soundies' he did back in the 1940s are classic. My new song, 'When I Get My Shit Together' is very much related to my love of Louis Jordan. Being a sax player, writer, singer and bandleader like he was-he's a main man!"

From Dorothy Hill's BLUESOURCE review of the 2007 Monterey Bay Blues Festival ( June 23, 2007) "One of the more delightful presentations was the huge aggregation of musicians that went by the name of For The Love Of Ray.  Although not very bluesy, they ignited the Main Stage with enthusiasm in a loving tribute to the music of Ray Charles.  Outstanding vocal solos were delivered by Dino Vera on 'Georgia On My Mind' and Lee Durley on a jazz-inflected vocal take of 'You Don’t Know Me.'  Gary Smith delivered an effective harmonica and vocal execution and ten-year-old Dhani James wowed the audience with 'Hit The Road Jack.' Terry Hanck joined the group on saxophone and vocals for a rousing version of 'My Time Is The Right Time.'  Hanck then headed over to the Garden Stage for a set with guitarist Johnny Cat, Bob Welsh on keyboards and Butch Cousins on drums with me following.  For those not familiar with Hanck, Tracy Nelson said it all in this quote: 'Terry Hanck is the funkiest, sexiest, most prolific and talented singer/songwriter/musician on the earth.  He has to be Jr. Walker's bastard child.'

Forty Shades of Blue movie soundtrack.
One of Terry's songs, "Quicksand," was featured in the 2005 indie film, Forty Shades of Blue, a Sundance juried Grand Prize Award Drama winner. Rip Torn stars as a character loosely based on the legendary Sam Phillips, the guy who signed Elvis and Johnny Cash for his label, Sun Records, in Memphis. On the film soundtrack (pictured below), Terry's friend, the great Tracy Nelson sings it. They are planning to re-record this song together for Terry's upcoming 2007 album.
