Penny and Me

Hanson

3CG/Cooking Vinyl

WE SAY

Hanson are a massively talented, unique band who've suffered a number of problems since their astronomical launch but have continued to write top class songs throughout. Penny And Me is the latest and right up there with their best. Their new album is their first for their own label and it entered the Billboard album chart at no 25, US Sales to date are nearly 200,000 net shipped, and it's becoming one of the biggest self-released albums of all time. That represents impressive regeneration and makes us think (and hope) that they will be around for years. Cooking Vinyl are releasing the album in the UK, where the band play three acoustic dates including the Shepherd's Bush Empire on November 5. This is the acoustic version of Penny and Me - link to Hanson's website for the album version. http://www.hanson.net
