1994
Two Guitars, No Waitin'
Formed in 1991 by Dave Stuckey and Deke Dickerson -- both refugees from Missouri who relocated in Los Angeles -- the Combo established a new and unique presence and helped bring about the West Coast retro renaissance.
They distinguished themselves from other modern acts with their vocal harmonies (reminiscent of old-time "brother" acts like the Everly Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, the Delmore Brothers, etc.), Dickerson's fleet-fingered Joe Maphis licks on his Mosrite double-neck guitar, and their solid rhythm section: bassist Lloyd Martin (later replaced by Brian "Shorty" Poole) and drummer Lance Soliday. The Dave & Deke Combo is still widely loved and remembered today, ten years after its breakup.
Dave Stuckey formed a new western swing act, the Rhythm Gang, and recorded a dynamite CD for the HighTone/HMG label entitled Get a Load of This!
Lance Soliday continues to drum with such acts as the Smith's Ranch Boys and the Lucky Stars.
Shorty Poole plays steel guitar in the new western act the Stardust Combo.
Moonshine Melodies is a Rockin' good time and will have your foot stompin in no time flat.
Whatcha waitin fer. Go git it!

Hi LP --
Thanks for covering our disc... one thing, tho -- unless there's a bootleg I don't know about, this thing never came out on vinyl!
We did do some 45's - and our 2nd LP Hollywood Barn Dance, did come out on a 12"...
But I appreciate the coverage, nonetheless -- seems like a hundred years ago!
Best,
Dave Stuckey
