Bluer
Than You've Ever Been
Growing
up when he did, it's only natural the Lane is well indoctrinated
in Rock of many stripes. And, yes, these influences
shine through. But, "this is Blues, y'all,"
says Lane, "even when it isn't. Every song we do,
no matter how hard the edge, is a Blues song at heart.
Now, you could say that about a lot of Rock music. One
big difference is that we know it really know
it. And we do our best to honor the tradition, and
those who have gone before."
The
band cuts a long orbit through a myriad of styles: a
bare-bones presentation of Lane's lament Underground,
nothing but Lane and his acoustic bass guitar; Hound
Dog, a nod of respect to John Lee Hooker; the Texas
grit of Coupe de Ville and the Chicago strut
that underpins the band's shuffles; an undeniable heaviness
to match the gravity of Gravedigger Jones. And
above all, the gut wrenching, heartbreaking pain and
sorrow of the band's slow Blues, an overwhelming display
of emotion that has - far more than once - made a grown
man cry and brought audiences to their feet.
With
the 2008 release of Dig the Hole, Deeper Blues
rapidly gained international attention, selling CDs
on every continent (except Antarctica). The band is
currently negotiating a European tour for early 2010.
As
the band begins 2009, Lane looks forward to the release
of a live CD, and an expansion of the band's roadwork
to include Europe and possibly Asia. Join Deeper Blues
on its journey through the pain and sorrow, the release
and redemption that are the Blues. Come home to the
heart of it, perhaps for the very first time, and you
too will be "Blue to the Bone."

Praise for Deeper Blues
What's
not to love? Great band, great songs, and more heart
than I've ever heard.
~~ Hayden James, Senior Programmer, RealityRadio.biz
When
they kicked into "Time of Dyin'", it was like
Sonny Boy Williamson come to life just lower.
You've got to hear it to get it.

Load Show
This
is one band that has to be experienced felt
deeply to be understood! The bass & drums
were masterful thats some engine driving
this band!
The
blues has never been bluer - never been done like this
never been as deep. The band did a couple of
standards, and masterfully so. But the best part of
the set was when they did the Deeper Blues originals,
although I gotta admit: they already sounded like standards,
they were that good.
See
this band. You will love this band deeply.
Theyre
that good!
~~ Wes Watson, bassist, StrangeLand
