Ken Woods & The Old Blue Gang - 'Oh Denise'

After the searing intensity of 2025’s acclaimed debut album 'Silent Spike', Ken Woods & The Old Blue Gang return with a welcome change of pace in 'Oh Denise', delivering a playful, Texas swing-laced blues-rock stomper that brings a wide grin to the new year.

Released as the first glimpse of their forthcoming album 'Older and Bluer: The Old Blue Gang Rides Again' (out Autumn 2026), 'Oh Denise' is all lively riffs, blazing guitar solos, and quick-witted rhymes, pulling from the rich traditions of Austin barroom blues with a wink and a swagger.

Ken Woods tips his hat to icons like Stevie Ray Vaughan while drawing on personal memories of long summers spent in the heart of Texas. It’s a song steeped in nostalgia for jukebox nights, Southern heat, and a pre-silicon Austin. Or, as Woods jokes, “The vintage Austin vibes are so deep that every time you spin this record, a tech bro moves back to California!”
