Some really great "country Pick'in on this one. This CD does not dissapoint! One listen to this early Deke Dickerson CD and you'll be look'in for his entire discography. - William E. BowenThe Dave & Deke Combo is one of the best-loved and best-remembered rockabilly / hillbilly bands of the 1990s. During their five-year run, they recorded two CDs and several singles, toured the USA many times, toured Europe five times, backed up nearly every living rockabilly legend, and inspired and influenced many of the new bands on today's retro scene.
Formed in 1991 by Dave Stuckey and Deke Dickerson -- both refugees from Missouri who relocated in Los Angeles -- the Combo established a new and unique presence and helped bring about the West Coast retro renaissance. They distinguished themselves from other modern acts with their vocal harmonies (reminiscent of old-time "brother" acts like the Everly Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, the Delmore Brothers, etc.), Dickerson's fleet-fingered Joe Maphis licks on his Mosrite double-neck guitar, and their solid rhythm section: bassist Lloyd Martin (later replaced by Brian "Shorty" Poole) and drummer Lance Soliday.
In 2005 the Dave & Deke Combo reunited for a series of festival shows, including Viva Las Vegas and the Oneida/Green Bay Rockin' Fest, and released the new compilation "There's Nothing Like an Old Hillbilly--Lost & found Treasures 1991-2005." this release contains unreleased songs, b-sides, live tracks, and a brand new recording of the fan favorite "In the Meadow." - album notestrax:
