Dan Hicks (2010)

Interview by Holger Petersen, Rock's Backpages audio, 11 July 2010

The head Hot Lick talks about his early jazz and country influences; the impact of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, and his continuing association with Maria Muldaur; the importance of humour in his songs, and looks back at San Francisco in the '60s: the folk rock explosion, the eclectic ballroom bills, and his days as a Charlatan.
