Dan Hicks is one of the defining figures in American music. The original
Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks recorded five Billboard-charting records,
putting Dan on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine three times. The
newest incarnation of DH & HL released the wildly successful “Beatin’ the
Heat.” USA Today called it “one of the blessings of the new millenium.”
Other releases include Alive & Lickin, and the CD/DVD Dan Hicks and
The Hot Licks Featuring An All Star Cast of Friends. Both Mojo and
Downbeat magazines rated it “Four Stars . . . one of the best CDs of ’04.”
2005 brought Selected Shorts. The New Yorker remarked that it’s “as great
as his early masterpiece Where’s the Money? . . . truly superb.” 2009 brings
Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks’ tenth studio CD. To quote Daily Variety,
“Dan Hicks is at the top of his game . . . [A] new studio album from Dan
Hicks is like a new painting from Picasso . . . STAY TUNED!”
