King Of The Whole Wide World is Deke Dickerson's first new CD in three years, since 2005's The Melody.
King Of The Whole Wide World proves once again why Deke Dickerson is one of the most respected and well-loved artists on the Roots music scene today, with Deke singing, playing guitar and many other instruments, writing the songs and even recording the album at his home studio!
On this album, Deke is ably assisted by many of his friends, including Crazy Joe Tritschler, Chris Sprague, Carl Sonny Leyland, Jimmy Sutton, the Lucky Stars, and Mary Huff of Southern Culture On The Skids.
The music covers all the territories of American roots music, from rockabilly (Deep River, Trumpet) to rock and roll (Put Me Down, I Can't Wait To See You (Go)) to honky-tonk and bluegrass (Do You Think Of Me, Boone County Blues) - doo wop (Itchin' For My Baby) and soul (a cover of Willie Nelson's Make Way For A Better Man done Stax-style).
For all his genre-hopping, Dickerson handles it all with ease and cements his place as one of the top artists on the roots music scene today.
