Dan Hicks - Hot Licks Live

Dan Hicks formed the acoustic group Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks in 1968. After adding a pair of female backing vocalists - "the Lickettes" - the group issued it's debut LP in 1969 followed by a pair of records in 1971. They then issued Last Train To Hicksville in 1973 which proved to be the Hot Licks' most successful album yet. At the peak of the group's popularity, however, Hicks dissolved the band and did not resurface until 1978. The show featured on this mid-price release was recorded before an in person audience in 1973 for an LA college radio station with Dan Hicks (guitar, lead vocal), Sid Page (fiddle), Naomi Ruth Eisenberg (vocal & fiddle), Maryann Price (vocal), Bob Scott (drums), John L. Guirton (lead guitar), and Jaime Leopold (bass). We have added nine bonus tracks taken from a live in concert show for WXPN and World Cafe Live in Philadelphia.
