Brother Dege: The Darker Side of Me
After two successful albums Brother Dege (AKA Dege Legg) is one of the best kept secrets in Louisiana; a musician, writer, and heir to a long line of eccentric characters born and raised in the Deep South. Hailing from the Cajun swamplands he’s spent decades exploring the backwoods weirdness of the southern U.S, working odd jobs and forging his own brand of southern/psyouthern music.
In 2010, Brother Dege reinvented the Delta blues for future generations on “Folk Songs of the American Longhair” (2010) which we featured a track from on the Daily Dose here. In 2012, Quentin Tarantino tapped Brother Dege’s “Too Old to Die Young” for the movie & soundtrack to Django Unchained, a perfect compliment to the soundtrack IMHO.
With his latest album, Brother Dege returns to “reinvent the steel” on 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 explores the dark underbelly of what it is to be a man in the modern world.
