Theme from After the Catch 2010 "Hard Row to Hoe" Brother Dege

Song: "HARD ROW TO HOE"
written & performed by Brother Dege Legg

"Hard Row to Hoe" is the theme song of DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S DEADLIEST CATCH SPIN-OFF "AFTER THE CATCH 2010 on TUESDAY NIGHTS on Discovery Channel.
It is an original song written by Dege Legg on the album "Folk Songs of the American Longhair."
Brother Dege (aka Dege Legg) is a Cajun musician - born & raised in rural Louisiana - writer for 16 years. A veteran of the underground punk, rock, and roots music scenes. His latest album, Folk Songs of the American Longhair is an all slide guitar/Dobro tour de force of original country Delta Blues songs.

Sometimes described as raw dirt, railroad pounding, swamp-fried, Louisiana Mekong Delta blues music this Tuesday night when Discovery Channel's DEADLIEST CATCH spin-off series AFTER THE CATCH opens with BROTHER DEGE'S new song "HARD ROW TO HOE" as the show's opening theme song. Not only will Dege's track from his recently released Folk Songs Of The American Longhair album be predominately featured in the show's opening, but BROTHER DEGE will also make an appearance performing in the streets of New Orleans as part of the AFTER THE CATCH intro.

Like the mad lovechild of Robert Johnson and Jim Morrison, BROTHER DEGE (aka DEGE LEGG, the Cajun-born and Louisiana-raised leader of the rock band Santeria), has just released his highly anticipated "slide/Dobro record" Folk Songs Of The American Longhair, produced by 4x Grammy-winner Tony Daigle (Dr. John, Sonny Landreth, Gatemouth Brown, Bobby Charles),

Legg and Primo (also from Santeria). This is Delta Blues for the 21st Century, raging out of the swamplands of Louisiana. Dripping with atmosphere and backwoods noir. The real deal—death-obsessed, god-fearing, foot stomping acoustic blues steeped in the devilish myths and haunted ambience that permeates every inch of Louisiana. Factor in some Historic longhaired rock & roll influences -- from Sabbath to Black Flag -- and you've got an art project and anthropological study wrapped in one time traveling package.

Folk Songs of the American Longhair takes the listener on a mind-bending, soul-crushing slide guitar journey into the backroads of the Deep South. Legg composed ten original tunes in the Delta-slide tradition, paying tribute to the old masters while pushing into the apocalyptic future. Much like the field recordings of Alan Lomax, the record tunnels into the ancient mysteries of pre-war blues, recorded in sheds, old houses and open fields. It's like Son House at a surrealist convention.

Brother Dege, you are my lord, my mentor, my guidance in my musical world. I often try to convey similar feelings to your music on my mandolin but I haven't been able to so far. I hope I can witness your brilliancy live one day.

[santeriaband]

@Dexterecus You can do anything you put your mind & heart to, man. Thanks. Keep the fighting the good fight. - Dege

Just fucking amazing. Like, punk rock on the rebound of the apocalypse complete with a survivalist mentality. I don't know man, but it keeps me up a night.

Great song man. Got your album and love it. Must admit that 'Hard Row To Hoe' is my personal favorite, although all the songs are really great. A real inspiration. Thanks. Keep it coming brother.

A long rode to ho.

It is not mispronounced it is misspelled.

Rode is a length of chain and rope that is put out from the ship to the anchor. A long rode is required when it is windy or stormy. To pull a rope on a ship is to ho. Hence the term “Heave Ho” the group will advance on the rope on the command Heave and pull on the command Ho. If it is stormy and or windy the long rode to ho is hard work.
