songs of the 1940s - vol. 1 & 2

by king dude

supported by

Der Ohlsen "Be it the pedal steel guitar on "Drivin' Nails In My Coffin" or the whole productions of "Oh Death" and "Pistol Packin Mama" being drenched in eerily cavernous echo or the addition of spooky piano or organ here and there; there's no doubt who you're listening to, even though all of these songs have been covered a thousand times before."

about

king dude, also known as tj cowgill, is an american singer-songwriter and musician from seattle, washington. he first gained recognition in the underground music scene with his self-released debut album, "my beloved ghost," in 2009.

cowgill's music is often described as a blend of folk, rock, and country, with a heavy influence from americana and the occult. his songs often feature themes of love, death, and religion, and his lyrics are known for their poetic and literary quality. his style is often compared with the likes of nick cave and scott walker, who cowgill cites as influences.

with his album "songs of the 1940s - part one & two" he explored the traditional american songbook by presenting his own versions of songs from that era in the context of his very own and unique style.
