dave graney and the mistLY are to release a rockn’roll album in the second half of 2012.To be a self titled 12 track upvibed , loud and smart masterpiece.
In the meantime, Dave Graney recorded “king of the dudes” and decided to put it out digitally. For the hell of it.
It’s a one off kind of a tune. Electro boogie in style with all instruments played by Dave Graney. Guitars sliding and vamping way back in the mix. And up high. Reminiscent in parts of “night theme” from Iggy Pop and James Williamsons late 70s opus , “kill city”.

“If there was a town
If there was a city
If there was a world worth lordin’ it over
I would be there ignoring one and all
Cool as spreading fern
King of the dudes…”

The title came from a character in a book about 19th Yankee railroad robber barons. Dave Graney, as usual, took off from there with a hiccup driven stroll and a meditation on the strength to be drawn from time alone. Gathering strength to throw yourself once again into the social world. The whirling world of gossip, reputation and useless but addictive political intrigue.

Dave Graney “king of the dudes” digital only release from march 5th.
