George Ducas

It isnt often when a country singer has the rock-solid guts of Dust Bowl reveries, the jacked-up locomotion of the early Bakersfield country sound and the more modern-minted energy of Los Angeles honky-tonk hijinks all rolled into one righteous attack. But thats George Ducas soul to share. On his new album, LONG WAY FROM HOME, there is a distinct feeling of a new history being born. Maybe thats because Ducas is able to seamlessly connect all those elements with such a natural flair that it can be a bit overwhelming when the sound is flying at full-tilt.
