Deke Dickerson and the Whippersnappers

Honky Tonkin' Rhythm

(Major Label / Self-issued)



In addition to being among the most adroit pickers extant, Deke possesses a grained voice appropriate for pastoral material. Honky Tonk country may be a niche interest, but its adherants are devoted and the genre never had truer and more reverential portrayal.

On red-vinyl, this is a version of Deke's CD of about 5 months ago. Only 300 copies were pressed. It's available only at his website and at gigs.

Recommended: "Bucket Of Blood," "Now That You're Gone," "Baby's Gone Uptown," "Loneliest Man In the Whole Wide World," "Battering Ram," "Here Kitty, Kitty," "Goin' Honky Tonkin'," "High Noon," "You Better Not Go," "Great Big Cowboy"

Video: "Here Kitty, Kitty"
