Dennis' musical style is honed from Delta Blues, Southern Rock, New Orleans Jazz and Muscle Shoals Soul. "The Blues Highway" features songs written by Dennis and friends from the Muscle Shoals area that are true to his musical roots. The blues highway that runs from Memphis to New Orleans now passes by "... castles full of bad luck growing from the cotton boles" instead of juke joints that marks the path of blues singers of yesterday as Dennis sings about in the title cut. You can feel the soul flowing from the strings of the ole' slide guitar on cut "Detour You", "I've Got Miles To Go"and " Louisiana Nights" . You can feel the pain of old musical friends untimely passing in "My Old Friends". You can hear the raw emotion pour from the saxophone on "If Leaving was easy". This cd contains just the right mix of Muscle Shoals groove songs and heart felt blues songs that evokes images from Delbert Mclinton to the bluesy side of Travis Tritt
