The Melody
This time, Deke focuses on songs with 'hooks,' in other words, songs that creep into your head and won't let go! Don't call it a 'pop' album, because Deke covers the same wide berth of roots and Americana music that he always does, from rockabilly to country to rock & roll and doo-wop with a few ballads and surf instrumentals thrown in for good measure! The band on this record is killer, with Chris Sprague on drums and Jimmy Sutton on bass, with a guest appearance by Carl 'Sonny' Leyland on piano.
