Dan Hicks and The Hot Licks, very interesting performer to say the least. Not an original member but rather quickly replaced the drummer in the original lineup of The Charlatans, an early 60s San Francisco band that some music historians credit as being the band that launched the diverse explosion of music coming out of San Francisco in that era.
He left the band to form The Hot Licks supposedly because he tired of the “rock and roll scene” of the time as it were, apparently tiring of the rampant drug use. Anyway, he formed a unique, talented and very entertaining band.
