Deke Dickerson - King of the Whole Wide World

Howard, I've found the perfect soundtrack for this summer's barbeque.

Readers, what do you play when confronted with several overtired children wanting an after-hours kid rave (complete with glowsticks)? Well, I think we'll be testing out a spot of Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-fonics.

Country soul, rockabilly hotrod bluegrass surf - it's bound to be a family favourite. Highly recommended.

Listen: Deke Dickerson - Make Way for a Better Man

Listen: Deke Dickerson - Do You Think Of Me?

Armless musicians, gospel midgets and one man bands a-plenty on Deke's official site. Yes, really. I mean come on, how can you resist a link like that?

Buy, on vinyl too. Or maybe just treat yourself to a read about his double neck guitar.
