	Dan Hicks - Music Downloads - Online
		Hicks was born December 9, 1941, to a military family then living in Arkansas, and grew up in California, where he was a drummer in a number of high-school bands.
		Hicks had formed the acoustic group Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks in 1968 as an opener for the Charlatans, but soon the new band became his primary project.
		At the peak of the group's popularity, however, Hicks dissolved the band and did not resurface until 1978, releasing the solo LP It Happened One Bite, the soundtrack to an uncompleted feature by animator Ralph Bakshi.

	Genius of Cool: Dan Hicks and the Post-Ego Trip \| PopMatters Music Feature
		Somehow Dan Hicks detached from the modernist idea that the artist is or has a static, knowable, "self" to express, by inventing for himself a larger than life non-identity: an infinitely hip and deadpan personality, composed, in ever-changing proportions, of singing cowboy, Edwardian dandy, upscale hobo and merry prankster.
		Dan Hicks was unique among psychedelic-influenced singer songwriters in formulating a musical identity that combined the extroverted masks of the early folk and popular musicians with the psychic masquerade of the Acid Tests.
		Hicks can make such an un-cool boast without losing his cool because the "I" making this statement is no ego on a trip, but the trip that dissolves ego, the prankster spirit calling us out of our heavy selves onto the dance floor.

		Dan Hicks found the great players who were Hot Licks and put them together, and they added up, as several of them have said, to be more than the sum of their parts.
		Hicks' latest live album, with new Hot Licks on hand, ''Alive and Lickin','' shows that he is still hilarious between tunes, and is not afraid of interrupting a song when he feels like it.

	Metroactive Music \| Dan Hicks
		The now-defunct dance hall served as the summer lair of the Charlatans, a San Francisco folk-rock band (Hicks, Mike Wilhelm of the Flaming Groovies, and Boz Scaggs were among its members) with a taste for turn-of-the-century gambler chic and potent hallucinogens--and a penchant for packing sidearms onstage.
		Originally, Hicks had planned the event as a tongue-in-cheek self-tribute, envisioning that he would be sequestered onstage in an easy chair and looking pleased with himself while those fellow musicians who had played such a big part in his career performed for him.

	DrP Dan Hicks
		Hicks’ voice – velvet swoops from falsettos to deep bass, impeccable timing, total control – makes him a pleasure just to listen to as a singer, and he sang a broad range of songs, ranging from many of his own to a Jon Hendricks jazz ballad.
		Hicks was in good form between songs, too -- but at first too subtle for the lighting guy, whom he requested in past tense and third person to turn down one pink light that spotlighted him.
		Hicks was a product of the same time and place (as well as many of the same country-folk influences) which produced the Grateful Dead but he made music at right angles to theirs, and yet wholly compatible with theirs.

		Dan Hicks (music)' manner of speaking is slow and droll, somewhat like his brand of music.
		Though Hicks is a trained jazz drummer, his on-again, off-again band Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks is almost a throwback to a bygone era--one before drum backbeats became prominent.
		Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks were fairly active until 1973, and then Hicks did a few solo albums over the next two decades.

		Seems Hicks, once a drummer for the seminal '60s psychedelic group The Charlatans, encountered a similar name-battle with a '90s Britrock group.
		Hicks' observational humour would take off by 1968 when he picked up a guitar and focus on writing his own acoustic-based songs coloured with female background vocals.
		The result was Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks, a marriage of complex rhymes and jive vocabulary about ironic romances, barflies, innocent freedoms and flying saucer pilots.

	A Conversation with Dan Hicks
		But I was completely enchanted by the middle act, a group called Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks.
		Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks (1969), Where's the Money (1971), Striking It Rich (1972), and Last Train to Hicksville (1973) are a consistent string of fabulous recordings, and astonishingly different from everything else that was happening in music at the time.
		It's no wonder Dan Hicks ended up on the cover of Rolling Stone twice, because there's never been anyone like him, even in the more than 25 years since those first records were made.

	John Orr reviews Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks DVD
		People Hicks played with in high school, back in the 1950s, in addition to members of all of Hicks bands since then, including the Charlatans, and current and former Hot Licks.
		On ''I Scare Myself'' at the Hicks show, Page started with a few little licks and musical references, then dived deep with slides, slurs and hammers into a stunning solo that was even more impressive than what he recorded with Hicks on the album ''Striking It Rich'' back in 1972.
		Hicks calls out everyone's name at some point during the show, but it's hard to keep track, and something in the credits or the enclosed booklet would have helped.

		Dan is back with special guests Jimmy Buffett, Willie Nelson, Gibby Haynes, Van Dyke Parks, and Thomas Dolby, lending their talents to Hicks' first studio effort since his critically acclaimed 2000 comeback release, "Beatin' The Heat".
		Dan Hicks took four years between "Beatin' the Heat" and "Selected Shorts", and it's well worth the wait.
		The dearth of new Hicks tunes here (included are three re-done songs from 1994's live "Shootin's Straight" album, and three covers) may signal that in his senior years, Dan has hit a songwriting wall, but it matters little.

		Tulsa architect Dan Hicks, supported by a petition signed by 2000 area residents, plus a scientifically conducted poll showing that over 2/3 of the city's population believed the zoo should not promote evolution, was able recently to persuade city officials to remove exhibits depicting horse evolution and human evolution from display at the zoo.

		Dan Hicks' involvement with the project began in 1974, shortly after the dissolution of his Hot Licks.
		His then record company, Warner Bros., decided that since Hey, Good Lookin' had yet to be scheduled for release, they would revisit the recordings for a Dan Hicks solo album -- which was humorously titled It Happened One Bite.
		As the music was cinematic in nature and origin, Hicks chose the title as a send-up of the 1934 Frank Capra film It Happened One Night.
