REVIEW:
'In four pairs of jeans, three neckerchiefs, and one handlebar moustache The Dukes served up a generous slice of blues and country-flavoured rock.
Slide guitar and Johnny Cash-inspired riffs teamed with lung-busting vocals gave the band a foot-stomping stage presence worthy of a genuine hootenanny hoedown.' Abigail Edge - The Herald, Plymouth.___________________________________

------------------------------------------------Take some Country and Bluegrass Rhythms, mix them up with some Funk drumming, a little Punk bass line, a healthy dose of screaming Wah guitar and a dollop of Cajun fiddle. Bake for a year and ice with alternative and thoughtful lyrics provided by a voice that moves from Bluesy Soul to full on Rock. Serve with a dance floor for a perfect evening of musical entertainment. Don't forget a garnish of the odd emotive acoustic number for the sensitive diner,... but not too much.

Born in Sturgis, Kentucky in 1962, Womack has been able to pop out 13 albums in his 22-year career, write an autobiography and a novel, produce a life and still have time to search for the historical Jesus. You know, the real guy. His rock/folk sound and almost abrasive lyricism screams out anthems of questions and answers every musician asks themselves at one point or
another.
