Brother Dege. 10 minute acoustic-dobro, slide-guitar version of the song "House of the Dying." Filmed September 13th, 2006 at 307 Jazz-Blues Club. ... all » Lafayette, Louisiana. Directed by J. Mathew Roberts for Acadiana Open Channel

Brother Dege Bio: Writing in the old, haunted tradition of slide-blues greats, writer/musician Dege Legg breathes new life in the Delta Blues genre, not by imitation, but by infusing original songs with his experience of growing up in the Deep South—young, white, alienated, freak-in-the-country-style. With Robert Johnson on Thorazine-style slide work paired with Middle-East-Meets-South melodies, a mind-blowing new take on an old tradition emerges—one that is surreal, warped, odd, & droning, but also firmly rooted in the troubled and death-obsessed masters of old. Dege adamantly avoids the flashy, purist, mid-life-crisis white-guy school of slide playing—with its hoaky attempts at singing about country-living and faux-cotton picking. Instead you hear battered tales of apocalyptic prophesies, endless darkness, yearning stoners, backwoods drugs, hallucinatory angels, burning barns, junkyards, and the floating ghosts of the Deep South. All of it is told in an honest voice by one who lived through it, born & raised, Cajun, in small town southern Louisiana. This is the new real delta blues. New All-Slide CD coming in 08.

Brother, your new album is amazing. I'm wondering when/where I can find the instrumental versions of your stuff here on YouTube which I have been listening to nonstop for the last year. You are phenomenal and you make me want to play music again. I love your sound.

Like ghost dancing with angels just beyond the thin veil of our sainty, everyone grab your personal demons and sing along its time for the true heart wretched blues of broken souls and rederanged minds.in other words amazing in that way that shakes the sky and tears beautiful holes in the soul letting the light pour in and drown the emptiness with living sound that infects and changes the core of my being into something more complete.wheter with Santeria or alone u are a poet in word and motion

@StrangerToReason. Thank YOU.

Bro that's awesome. Instead of the synthetic loop in the background you should find someone to play the didjeridoo (sp?). Keep it up, sounds good.

Bad ass Dobro song and deep. What is your tuning. Check out Crossroad blues on Dobro. You might like. I've been starting to play Dobro as well. Your song needs a little condensed, but it is your song and I think sounds bad ass. Was wondering if it was a story about someone hanging at sundown?
