Those Who Dig Posts “Meet You at the Bus,” Says Nice Things

 

Music blog Those Who Dig offers up “Meet You on the Bus” and says nice things:

“Dare Dukes is a fine Southern gentleman who knows how to rock the banjo and write some pretty great music. I am digging this tune of his ‘Meet You at the Bus.’ Nice horns and harmonies on it, especially the chorus.”


Music That Isn’t Bad Posts “Meet You at the Bus”

 

Minneapolis music blog Music That Isn’t Bad posts “Meet You at the Bus” and says some very nice things:

“With hints of Tom Waits, Dare Dukes has made a wonderful album that takes a quirky romp around the American landscape, exploring the people and places that comprise it. With plenty of horns, banjo and accordion parts there’s no lack of musical diversity, and Dare Dukes does a great job of rallying all that sound under a single banner based around smart, upbeat, pop-folk hooks and breakdowns.”

Indie Rock Reviews posts “Meet You at the Bus” and says nice things:

“Somewhere between They Might Be Giants’ off-kilter playfulness and The Decemberists americana romanticism lies Dare Dukes’ brand new single ‘Meet You At The Bus.'”
