Their first album “Nothing Gold Can Stay” was recorded in splendid isolation in a makeshift studio in Bearsville, New York State then taken down The Hudson to be mixed and mastered by Grammy award winning hip-hop maestro Bassy Bob Brockmann (Notorious B.I.G’s Ready To Die). It’s an album that is populated by those on the brink of fame and fortune, those just getting by and those who have lost their way. Inspired by the sights and sounds that surrounded them both as they grew up in New York City, from The Summer Of Sam and the beat box’s bass heavy boom to BB guns shooting Challenger from the sky - and by the flip side of the not-so-great American dream - boyhood friends turned scarred veterans. The Duke And The King’s debut album celebrates adolescence’s not so innocent times while grudgingly accepting the occasionally harsh reality of the streets of a city that they both grew up on.

paleotrees It bothers me that Simone Felice is so good at literature, music, AND dressing himself like an American Civil War gent.

saritaxsarah Everything about them is incredibly beautiful.

miespaub Great!

Qszet Really great stuff. Actually didn't know that it was Simon Felice until a moment ago, which is a bit strange when I by a coincidence own all of the Felice Brothers albums. If you add to that I'm 17 and from Sweden it seems a bit strange that I've discovered all of these albums - and adored them too.
