A true child of the swamp, BROTHER DEGE (aka Dege Legg) has summoned the exalted ghosts of pre-war Southern Blues and channeled their haunted spirit into a fresh Mekong-Delta-blues-by-way-of-Louisiana take on the music that was omnipresent since birth. „Folk Songs of the American Longhair“ is a pure, unadulterated slide and dobro album captured painstakingly in the sheds, ancient houses, and open fields of the bayou by four-time Grammy winning producer Tony Daigle (Dr. John, Gatemouth Brown, Bobby Charles, Sonny Landreth, etc.).
