Earlier this year we gave a flavour of Louisianan artist Brother Dege, also known as Dege Legg (Pronounced: Deej – Leg). The release of Folk Songs Of American Longhair 2010 was a significant landmark which saw his on brand of southern/psyouthern music spread to a wider audience. Then in 2012, Quentin Tarantino tapped Brother Dege’s ‘Too Old to Die Young‘ for the movie & soundtrack to Django Unchained, stating that every track on American Longhair could’ve been in the movie…”it’s like a greatest hits album.”
His fan base has continued grow and it’s set to snowball with the release his latest album. Brother Dege returns to “reinvent the steel” with the slide-Dobro riff-o-rama of How to Kill a Horse. Recorded at night in an empty warehouse (while Legg worked at a men’s homeless shelter during the day), the album is a tour de force artwork that ranges from barn burners to ancient Delta meditations to Babylonian junkyard jams that explore the dark underbelly of what it is to be a man in the modern world. We have an exclusive première of the opening track from the album, listen to The Black Sea:
How to Kill a Horse is released November 5th via GolarWash Labs & Records
