Brother Dege - Folk Songs of the American Longhair (2010)

Dege Legg, from Louisiana, comes armed with a dobro and echoing voice.

Ten masterful tunes spiced in Cajun delta blues and steeped in bubbling bayou mushroom tea.


Recorded in a shed in Southern Louisiana these sonic vignettes are equal parts foreboding, mysterious, and inspiring. Tunes for the weary eyed freight train hopper or the soundtrack for a rustic Americana slideshow.

Up tempo Gulf coast pyschedelia that even at its bleakest will have your feet tapping. Enough good things can't be said about this album.
