Peter Guralnick: "All of Dan's music reflects a keen intelligence and an irreverent sense of humor that reacts against orthodoxy of any kind..."

Excerpt from Johns Hopkins Magazine http://pages.jh.edu/jhumag/1106web/be... :

Forty years ago, rock 'n' roll put electric paddles to the barely beating heart of American popular music. The musicians who did it were animated by a defiant creative spirit; rebellion against the establishment; a do-it-yourself ethic; and the notion that once they heard it, millions of people would embrace music that was sexy, dangerous, homemade, and human in all its messy, earthy, vulgar, raucous glory. For about a decade, rock 'n' roll lit up American culture with its anger, irreverence, and wit. Then the voltage seemed to seep out of it. Nike appropriated a John Lennon song to sell shoes. The Gap used '60s bohemian patron saint Jack Kerouac to sell khakis. Corporations began to sponsor rock 'n' roll tours to sell more beer, cigarettes, and cars. Hipster cool got branded and commodified. Popular music, even punk rock, lost what was left of its edge. In 1968, "rock 'n' roll hall of fame" would have been a risible idea; today it's a middle-class tourist attraction in Cleveland.

But the times are changing again. Empowered by digital technology and a renewed hey-let's-put-on-a-show attitude, bands have begun to reassert a cranky creative spirit that looks familiar to veterans of the 1960s. And as part of it, Dr Dan's Music Show is maybe, just maybe, poised to break out of the margins and find a larger audience.

You've probably never heard of them. The band operates on the fringes, which in many ways suits Dubelman. He is provocative, idiosyncratic, feisty about his independence, and creatively restless. Those qualities once defined rock 'n' roll musicians. Kevin Eggers, a longtime producer and the founder of Tomato Records, says, "He's a pure character, you know? Musical spirits like you don't get to see often these days."

Attempts to categorize the band's music always end up in Hyphen City: alt-country-punk-Americana-blues-roots rock under the influence of Bob Dylan and Lou Reed and Nic Cave channeling Buddy Guy. Sort of.

Kenny Aronoff, who has drummed for John Mellencamp, John Fogerty, Melissa Etheridge, and Smashing Pumpkins, has also subbed for Dr Dan's Music Show, and he's a fan. "Their music is not chiseled and clean," he says. "It's raw. Listen to it with your heart and you'll feel it. It's not to be analyzed, you know what I'm saying?”
