Dickie Lee Erwin’s musical history spans as far back as the 70s, playing with an eclectic assortment of musicians and playing an eclectic variety of music. A time considered by many to be the halcyon for Austin music and musicians. A time when the rent was cheap and a collective spirit of creativity and various genres of music flourished. From his 1980s’ award winning bluegrass band Erwin Prather, mid 1980s’ band Seven Samarai (Ronnie Lane’s original Austin acoustic band) on to his nationally syndicated performance on The Texas Connection, Erwin continues. After touring with the great Dallas PUNK-GRASS band KILLYBILLY, Erwin went on to release his own CD THERE’S A MOVIE GOIN ON (producer Scrappy Judd Newcomb), 3 years later the much loved TEXAS MIDNIGHT HIGHWAY (Co-producer Hunt Sales) and to be released in April of 2006, Poppin’ Johnny. This is DLE’s first album to produce. With guidance and ‘good ears’ from sound engineer/ Industrial Oaks Owner, Micheal Crow, and song arrangement mastery and musicianship of Billy Doughty, Chris Mietus and Gary Newcomb, DLE has come up with a sweet piece of work.
