Dennis Victor Allen's Country: Powerful, Pure And Simple
Get Right with Jesus. This is one of those great tunes that takes its cues from bluegrass and gospel. It sounds like it could have been written for a depression-era tent revival. The song is a toe tapper to be sure as the lyrics ask you to “Get right with Jesus if you know what I’m sayin’ / Get right with Jesus and commencify to prayin’”.
Throw all that music into a pot and stew it for twenty years and you get the sound of Dennis Victor Allen, lost son of C&W, long lost brother of the blues. His debut album, "Wayward Son," has been eating up the charts across the country as he makes his first NACC appearance with the Mackenzie Delta blues.
"Dennis was one of the highlights at the Dawson City Music Festival. A true
northern frontier songwriter!"
"Dennis Allen addresses songwriting with a sly wit and insightful mind. His warmth and dry humour charms an audience."
