Hoodlum Beach CD
This CD captures the best of Dean’s many facets. You will hear intimate solo performances, spirited live romps with his trio, The Resophonics, and raved-up treatments of obscure traditional numbers with talented guest musicians. Many thanks to the musicians who made this possible and much respect to Steve Wright for the quality sound.
