THE DUKE & THE KING Long Live The Duke & The King (2010 UK 10-track LP pressed on Audiophile Quality Vinyl - The Duke & The King's debut album 'Nothing Gold Can Stay' was one of 2009's most acclaimed albums, with its heady mix of rootsy folk-rock and vintage soul earning comparisons with artists ranging from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to Sly & The Family Stone. Little over a year later, the band lead by Simone Felice and Bobbie Bird Burke prepare for the release of their second album. Entirely self-produced, 'Long Live The Duke & The King' was recorded in the band's own studio / shack deep in their home woods of Bearsville, New York. Exalting in their ongoing love affair with rock, folk, soul and psychedelia, The Duke & The King have officially knighted two irreplaceable members to the cast: Nowell 'The Deacon' Haskins [of Parliament / Funkadelic lineage], and The Sensational Simi Stone, both of whom contribute golden vocals throughout this stunning collection of songs)
