SOUL MEETS COUNTRY!

(This post is a Deke Dickerson Newsletter's transcription) 

Hello Deke Dickerson fans

Lots of news from the Ecco-Fonic compound! Deke just returned from an epic couple of days in New Orleans at the Ponderosa Stomp, and coming up are Midwest dates with Jimmy Sutton and Jason Smay Oct. 16-19, a book signing and guitar clinic in Portland Nov. 1-2, and more dates with the Reverend Horton Heat in November and January. 

NEW RELEASE!! 

SOUL MEETS COUNTRY: NIKKI HILL AND DEKE DICKERSON 

This phenomenal release will surprise fans of both Deke and Nikki. It's pure Southern-fried soul recorded at Scott Bomar's Electraphonic Studios in Memphis with the mighty Bo-Keys band. 

Two duets, "Lovey Dovey" and "Feelins," coupled with a powerful rocker from Nikki, "Struttin'" and Deke's awesome new wah-wah funk version (featuring Motown's Dennis Coffey on guitar!) of "Lady Killin' Papa" from his first album, now titled "Lady Killin' Killa." The CD comes with a gatefold cover with extra pictures and the vinyl comes with a free download card, pressed on gold vinyl.
