about

Eleven Rounds is the debut studio release from The Westside Sheiks, featuring Jon Dryden & Preacher Boy. The album features ten original compositions including “In a Boxer’s Town,” “Everybody Got Religion But Me,” and “Fair Weather Friends,” as well as the duo’s signature treatment of Victoria Spivey’s “The Alligator Pond Went Dry.”

“While we may live in a world much diminished by the loss of both Dr. John and Leon Redbone, we can take some comfort that—in The Westside Sheiks—we have a kind of new Tin Pan Alley where ‘swingin’ rhymes, in double time’ percolate down the highways and byways of a still-weird America powered by a steady fuel of rolling piano, sliding guitar, and a growling croon.”

The Westside Sheiks are purveyors of Alternative Tin Pan Alley for The New Weird America.

Taking as their spiritual forefolk the sounds of Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell, The Mississippi Sheiks, and the quixotic melodics of The Old Weird America, this nouveau vintage duo features Jon "Captain Ahab" Dryden on Acoustic Piano and Christopher "Preacher Boy" Watkins on Guitar and Voice.

Imagine Lemmy singing with Art Tatum for a set of ragtime jazz, vintage blues, and original Americana.
