Hackensaw Boys return to Europe with new live album "Knock of the Knuckles"
Fri 06 Feb 2026Virginia roots torchbearers Hackensaw Boys return to their natural habitat, the stage, with Knock of the Knuckles, a new live album recorded in the Netherlands on their last European tour in 2025. They are once again teaming up with Milk Cow Records for a spring release. Known for their foot stomping charismo rhythms and a sound that bridges old time tradition with raw, communal energy, the band captures the tight looseness, lift, and electricity that have defined their shows for over two decades.
The songs stretch and settle in real time. The energy in the room blurs the line between band and audience. What you hear is not a performance preserved. It is a moment unfolding, alive and unguarded, the sound of a group whose identity has always been forged onstage, in motion together with the people who come share in the joy of Hackensaw Boys music.
