There seems to be an inside joke bubbling right under the surface anytime Dan Hicks sings. Is that a tiny smirk slipping out beneath the big-eyed innocence while singing the earnest question, "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?" First wildly popular in the days when people described one another as freaks and meant it as a compliment, Hicks still swings and bops like mad. He is currently flogging a Christmas collection that is just right for those who hate holiday music, complete with his trademark scat-on-speed.
