Video Description INFO: DEGELEGG.COM Complete 30 minutes slide-guitar dobro set by Dege Legg. Filmed on September 13, 2006 at 307 Jazz & Blues Club, Lafayette, Louisiana. Directed by Matt Roberts for A.O.C. broadcast. 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.
