Deke Dickerson says you can call him the Renaissance man of roots music. That’s because he can do it all! Deke came out of the world of rockabilly guitar and vocals, and he’s well enough known in that field to have a model named for him in the catalog of Hallmark Guitars. But that’s just the beginning. “People love to label me rockabilly, but that’s just a small fraction of what I do,” Deke says. His latest album, the modestly titled “King of the Whole Wide World,” includes guitar styles ranging from bluegrass to Western swing, Memphis soul, doo-wop, and rhythm-and-blues. The title track (“King of the Whole Wide World”) could even be called old-timey; it’s a tongue-in-cheek, autobiographical song about being a rich man without the constraints of money or fame. If you’ve never experienced this particular guitar man, check him out; you don’t know what you’re missing!
