They don't make 'em like Dexter Romweber anymore. Hell, they didn't make 'em like Dexter Romweber back in the '80s, when he was a rockabilly guitar phenom cutting his teeth with the Flat Duo Jets. Now leading the mellower Dex Romweber Duo, he can still croon and groove with the best of them — but it's taken decades for the best to catch up with him. Last year's Ruins of Berlin (Bloodshot) features assistance from fans like Neko Case and Cat Power, and No. 1 acolyte Jack White joined the duo for a few singles on Third Man Records. But there's nothing purer than seeing Romweber and his killer drummer, Sara Romweber (ex-Let's Active, Dex's older sister and an icon of cool herself), lock in and rock out.
