Growing up in LA in the late Sixties, the thriving music scene turned him on to the blues and the harmonica. He cites Jimmie Reed and Paul Butterfield as his biggest blues influences. Soon, he began writing his own songs – heavily influenced by Bob Dylan, as most everyone in that era.
A virtuoso harmonica player, Dale King more often than not chooses to use his instrument as a “soundshaping” tool. Trains, farm animals, all the sounds black harp players imitated are clearly audible in his solos. On no other instrument can notes and sounds be shaped and colored in such an organic, intuitive way. Dale King is a master of that art.
His songs span the entire range of blues and R&B without becoming bogged down in the often imprisoning 12-bar patterns. Rock ‘n’ Roll, Celtic-style harmony, funky grooves, Southern Soul, free-flowing Sixties-style ballads don’t seem like detours when you’re traveling in Dale King’s blues world, but more like a pleasant scenic drive along the way. His songs tell of his way; his Native American background, his turning towards Eastern philosophies, his dedication to music, his often less than pleasant upbringing in the streets of LA are his topics.
Deeply rooted in the tradition of the great black masters, he does what they did, taking the old, shaping and adding on to it, mixing it all with his own musical experiences. This was the path that lead from Charley Patton to Robert Johnson, on to Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters, Sonny Terry, Little Walter, the Rolling Stones ... and the list goes on.
Dale King freely moves within this great tradition and has accomplished a remarkable feat by adding his distinctly original touch to the often used blues genre. He can’t be compared to anyone, never is one compelled to think “Oh, he sounds like ...” when listening to his work. This is evident on his CD “Through a Song“.
