A banjo songster like Old Man Luedecke is a rare type of musician. A songwriting one of such hopeful goodness rarer still. In the tradition of solo banjo men and women of days gone by like Dock Boggs, Bascom Lunsford, and Odell Thompson, Old Man Luedecke sings his songs accompanied only by his loving five string, foots stomps and the occasional yodel. His songs are catchy melodi-gems blending old-time sensibilities with an unusual vision and poetic sense.

His music belies someone more than slightly ill at ease with modern life. This is the bizzare type of music Dock Boggs might have made had he studied poetry.
