..."You never know what's next on this record. Some of the songs include a roots rocker in the style of Los Lobos (Gotta Get Up & Go), the honky-tonk Blue Light Blues and a C&W two-step highlighting Conni's steel guitar playing (Mind Your Business). As a lyricist, Conni switches between the silly (Mall Parade) and the heartfelt (You Don't Know How Much I Love You)"...

Austin Weekly

..."Texana Dames Texana Dames (Amazing Records) Perhaps this week's to entry in the 'it should have been on a major' sweeps. If this record isn't at your local mom 'n' pop, I'd have them order it. It's not just that these women make accordion fun again, they cover the entire range of country/ bluegrass/ early R&B/ home on the range/ Lennon Sisters/ Nortenos, etc. The bluegrass guitar, that hint of zydeco, the cowboys/ cowgirls, images just flow as this urban cynic listens to the album all the way through, and if you were ever a critic you'd know just how painful that usually is. Randy Newman, Bonnie Raitt, Mojo Nixon, the Knitters and Patsy Cline are just a few of the comparisons that spring to mind, but of course none of them really hits the mark. Just get the record, okay? Whether it's La Conni's steel guitar, Traci Lamar's accordion and keyboards, Charlene Hancock's keyboard bass or Frosty's drums and other percussion, you'll have a great time with Texana Dames. Charlene is Conni and Traci's mom, they've been playing together 20 years, and they deserve broader exposure. And don't blame me if you get a hankerin' to square dance"...

The Island-Ear

..."Texana Dames: Texana Dames (Amazing; all formats) Charlene Hancock and her two spirited daughters, Conni and Traci, offer a kicky Lone Star stew of sound as Texana Dames - meaty, spicy, and occasionally hot enough to raise the roof of your mouth. The material is largely original, blending fresh arrangements, pungent lyrics, and a host of styles, mostly country two-steps, honky-tonk blues, ballads, New Orleans party rhythms, Cajun waltzes, and Latin/Mexican songs of passion. There's much to like here, especially the sly takes on she-devils ("Same Taste in Men") and shopping mall society ("The Mall Parade"). A-"

Entertainment Weekly

..." Conni - Plays steel guitar. Influenced by black, Mexican, Cajun and country musicians. Began writing her own songs to fit her individual musical style."
..."Conni Hancock has a way with clever lyrics, and sings them with a twinkle in both her eye and her voice.  "Gotta Get Up And Go," for example, finds her explaining, 'I've been told time and again I'm just too hard on shoes, car and men. I wear them out, tear them up and see how far they go. I like to move, I like to roll, like to cruise, I like to get up and go.' She can even find inspiration in a shopping trip as her song "Mall Parade" refers to "rich women out shoppin' for a livin'/poor ones look, don't give up dreamin'."  Lest one assume her sense of humor maintains control, her composition "Save My Love For Rainy Days" is one of the more dreamy love songs sweeping listeners away these days"...
