Folksongs of the American Longhair - Dege Legg
Long awaited review of Dege's new cd. You won't be disappointed. This cd is not like anything I've ever heard so it's hard to compare it. I know I like it. 10 songs and all enjoyable. It is a mixture of blues, folk swamp and primitive. There are subtle nuances of chants in the background of some songs and foot stomping rhythm... and of course always tasty slide dobro work.
I particularly liked Hard Road to Hoe, House of the Dying Sun, Dead and Gone, World's Longest Hot Dog. Black is the Night is the most straightforward song on the cd and the one most likely to get airplay.
Here's Hard Road to Row which is being used as the Theme Song for Discovery Channels After the Catch 2010.
