Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks

Dan Hicks an American original, one of the defining figures in American roots music. Hicks carves his way through a number of genres, from Tin Pan Alley jazz to western swing and country blues, to create the appealing sound he calls “folk jazz.” His lyrics range from the simply sublime to the sublimely ridiculous, all presented with his uniquely skewed and inscrutable touch. Hick’s irresistible sense of rhythm, hip lyrical styling, and laid-back vocalizing, turning those who hear him into fans.
