Dee White

Dee White calls himself a "Southern gentleman" on his 2019 debut, but because the singer/songwriter leans hard on his Alabama background, his stylized retro-country evokes a past that doesn't necessary belong to the land south of the Mason-Dixon line. Producer Dan Auerbach creates an elegant, hazily lush setting that evokes the soft country-rock emanating from Laurel Canyon at the dawn of the '70s. When combined with White's high, keening voice -- which can glide up to a falsetto reminiscent of Roy Orbison, as it does on "Crazy Man" -- this supple sound can conjure memories of Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band, only without much of a twanging snap. - AllMusic Official Website
