Les is a dynamite guitarist/songwriter. I've always felt he deserves more widespread recognition. Thanks for posting this video of Old Judge Jones! Magnificent job by Les, especially considering he's doing it with a 3 piece group!
Les Dudek was and remains too cool! Was so happy when he came in the Rainbow Bar and Grill (where I was working) back late 70's to let us know "Ghost Town Parade" was being pressed VERY undercelebrated musician! Miss chatting with ya downstairs at the 'Bow Les!
@opgeoff I bought several of his albums back in the 70's which were on Columbia. Remember on one (they were records) he is playing a Goldtop Les Paul with a bird sitting on it. Man he still sings good and that Fender Strat he is playing on this has a killer tone. I bought "Brothers and Sisters" by the Allman Brothers in 1973 and noticed on the liner notes that the acoustic guitar on Jessica and additional lead guitar on Ramblin' Man were by Les. I remembered that name and bought his records.
For the longest I've tried to find some of his music on limewire - great to see he's alive and well here on you tube. i remember meeting him at Fat Cats in Hollywood Fla one monday night on the fly. I'd only heard of him and knew his music from a house band who use to play him called Rapid Transit
Les Dudek lives!!!!! Get your ass to Utah and show them how to ROCK. We have loved you since 1980 when we first heard you in Wyoming. Hurry up I'm getting older.............
