Peace in the Lily of the Valley
author: AmieoDuff is the real deal. Just listen.
Long Time Gone
author: Charles (Bubba) CampbellI first met Duff at Delta State College back in the early 1970s. I was from Shaw and Duff from Ruleville. I was picking drums with a number of different groups playing mostly country music. I remember once asking Duff if he would sit in for our bass player who was called out of town. Duff obliged and sat in with myself, Steve Chester and Terry Jenkins at the Dew Drop Inn on highway 61 near the Cleveland city limit sign. As I remember it, Duff was freaked out by Steve's ability to mimic so many artists with his voice. He performed Bob Dylan's "North Country Fair" and sang both Dylan's and Johnny Cash's vocals. Anyway, I think that was about the last time I saw Duff. Not long after, I left the Delta for good and ended my career in music for one in engineering. Smoky bar rooms and sleazy company seemed the only abundant opportunities for making a living as a musician and those surroundings just never appealed to me. I ended up spending the last 30 years with the Space Shuttle Program instead. I know Duff was a great musician way back then and it was a foregone conclusion he would make his way in that arena come hell or high water. Online I’ve read some history of Duff and the many bands he played with including the Tangents. I've enjoyed listening to the music posted here. It does not fit any particular style. It sounds like someone seasoned in the Delta and blending whatever is comforting to the soul as we near the end. Wishing the best for Duff, Bubba Campbell
Peace in the Lily of the Valley
author: Mickey ReynoldsI actually know where the Lily of the Valley is. Duff and I camped there when we were kids. We started playing guitars together, sang together, graduated from HS together. This CD brings back some awesome memories and reminds me how much better a musician Duff is than me. May Duff have peace in the Lily!
Best I've heard this year
author: Ricky StevensYeah, I'm biased. Duff was part of the first band I ever paid money to hear. Back then I thought the Sausage and Biscuit Boys were the greatest thing to ever hit the stage. 30 years of listening later, I'm still convinced that Duff Dorrough possesses one of those rare talents that the rest of us are blessed to witness. "Peace in the Lily of the Valley" is a mix of personal and gospel songs that somehow mange to fuse elemnts of pop, blues, gospel and country in a way that would have been right at home at Sun Records in thelate 50's. Not that the music is dated by any mean, but Duff's melding of seemingly different styles is the same sort of effortless mix. Don't miss this record and don't miss any live performance that might come your way.
Old Friend and a Lifetime fan
author: DebbieI love you. Plain and simple!
Soulful and sincere music from a Mississippi master.
author: JLH - Austin, TexasDuff Dorrough is truly one of Mississippi's great musicians - and that's saying a lot. Listening to his new CD is like taking a homecoming journey through the South, with fast cruises along slick highways giving way to leisurely ambles through sleepy but never forgotten towns, with soul-restoring stops at country churches. His melodies take you over like fierce kudzu amidst proud oaks.
