Artist description Imagine Billy Holiday playing country music with The Rolling Stones. Imagine Sonny & Cher trading vocal blowsover Buddy Holly riffs. Vickie Dubelman's unique, powerful, clear-as-a-bell voice hovers over the gritty country and blues licks of Dr. Dan's weeping Clapton-like guitar. Dylanesque lyrics, a sloppy California groove (Nashville West, baby!) that improvises and jams in the American tradition of jazz without ever leaving that good old rock and roll behind.

Music Style Alt. country/blues...rock guys call it country, country guys call it jazz, jazz guys call it blues.

Musical Influences Patsy Cline, Beatles, Stones, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Burrito Bros, Dylan, BB King, Old 97s, Elvis Costello, Liz Phair, Lucinda Williams, etc.

Artist History We were born. We met. We played music. And here we are.

Group Members Dan and Vickie hooked up with old friends, Bernard Purdieand Jerry Jemmott, the legendary rhythm section that played on many ofthe great Aretha Franklin records and hundreds of other hits. They all headed to a Times Square studio, turned on the tape, and it was magic. Another old friend, Richie Cannata(Billy Joel, Elton John, The Beach Boys), even stoppedboy to pour his heart out on sax and piano. When theyfinished, they had a full-length album and time to catch thelast game of the 2000 subway series.

Albums American Trash

Press Reviews "Local Favorites Betty Dylan, who have opened for everyone from Rodney Crowell to Hank Williams III, have penned a great book and CD package, AmericanTrash. The text is smart, perhaps a little self-consciouslyso, though not as self-conscious as either Kerouac or Bukowski andcertainly a lot easier to get into given the dearthof drugs associated with the earlier artists. Onthe accompanying full-length CD, the husband/wife teamDan & Vickie Dubelman trade vocals liek a nuvo-beatChuck E. Weiss and Rickie Lee Jones. It's a well-designed, fullyrealized project; the kind that puts the art back in the word "artists".--Tom Kidd, Music Connection Magazine, May 7, 2001
