Chris grew up to perform in bands with his hero's. Hicks is a man who grew up loving Toy Calwell, and as if by fate, ended up in the lead guitar position in Toy's old band. Sheer magic. Chris wails on the guitar in a style that evokes unobstructed visions of Toy Caldwell one minute and Duane Allman the next. His whiskey drenched vocals can sing a tender love ballad on a balls to the wall rocker with equal passion and fervor. On his new album, Hicks delivers a one two knockout punch that will make a believer out of even the listerner who may have never heard his music before.
Dog Eat Dog World is one of the finest Southern Rock Albums in quite sometime. Chris Hicks is a young man with an old soul. He is a perfect torch bearer for the legends, from Toy and Tommy Caldwell to Duane Allman to Hughie Thomasson. Do yourself a favor...buy this album.
