Freeky Cleen & Dickey F – Double Feature

Freeky Cleen Dickey F - Double Feature

“What else should I be, All apologies…” For suddenly doing the disappearing act on AI. Fact is, a momentous event took place in the interim – the birth of my son! And I can see all of you who have gone through above-mentioned trauma nodding your heads quietly in sympathy! Nah, who am I kidding! It was and has been and will be I’m sure, amazing. But there have been myriad adjustments here and there and am still settling down into this new phase of life. Which explains the long absence. To mark the comeback, I have hand-picked a very special sound. It’s a very Bluesy kind of Rock or Rock-tinged Blues and it comes from a collaboration from the

Gobodobro – Little Conntry Boy

Gobodobro - Little conntry boy

Its pretty hard to find decent Blues on the Net which is free to share. And after much digging I was ecstatic to find Gobodobro! Gobodobro – what a name?! It does have Dobro in it which is the primary instrument on their songs. Digging for information about the band proved even harder and this is what I could gather from last.fm: It’s been ten years that sliding virtuoso Patrice met picking maestro Henry. Together, they formed Gobodobro, a tribute to New Orleans, blues, jazz, ragtime, bluegrass and dobro itself. Though this might not be everybody’s cup of tea, if you do listen with an open mind, it might just get to you. I loved the tracks so much that
