About This Item
Folk Songs of the American Longhair (2010) is Brother Dege's now critically-acclaimed debut album - a record that Quentin Tarantino later referred to as Inchlike a greatest hits albumInch of new Delta blues. InchAmerican LonghairInch delivers postmodern tales of desperate southerners, apocalyptic prophecies, midnight angels, hippie drifters, burning barns, and the endless ghosts that haunt the history of the Deep South. Quietly self-released with no distribution, no representation, and absolutely no hype, the album quickly earned four & five star reviews and gained the attention of numerous tastemakers in film and TV, scoring sync placements on Discovery Channel's InchAfter the Catch (Deadliest Catch)Inch, National Geographic's InchHard RidersInch, womens' cycling documentary InchHalf the RoadInch, Netflix's InchThe AfflictedInch, and most notably, hand-picked by Quentin Tarantino for inclusion in the movie and soundtrack to InchDjango UnchainedInch where Dege's song InchToo Old to Die YoungInch plays in the movie's pivotal, climactic scene.
