Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks June 21, 2009

Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks offer an off-center point of view and quirky, playful melodies that complement Hicks' trademark lyrics. He sings about ironic romances, barflies and flying saucer pilots in an alternative tempo that jumps and swings. Since the early 1960s, Hicks has deftly blended elements of Swing, Jazz, Folk and Country music to create the appealing sound he sometimes calls "Folk Jazz."
