If you aren't familiar with Dare Dukes and you live in Savannah, then shame on you - because he is really and truly the most gifted songwriter currently living in our fair city. If you don't live in Savannah, than you have an excuse, but its validity is shrinking, because he's been getting love from critics all over the world - including Canada, NYC, Belgium, Italy and others. So, not only is he coming to your town, he's coming to your country. You want to talk about painting an image with lyrics? There's few, if any, that do it better than Mr. Dukes. (And yeah, that's his real name too).
In his most recent newsletter, he offered up this little gem, a live version of "Old West Broad" (click to listen, right click to download) - the first song he wrote upon moving to Savannah - which he performed on Knoxville's WDVX with John Caselli accompanying.
His album Prettiest Transmitter of All is out now, so you should go buy it.
