Deano & Jo Biography
Out of the swamps of Lafayette, Louisiana, comes “Deano & Jo,” a musical and marital
partnership, playing their slightly skewed take on classic honky-tonk and bluegrass sounds.
“Deano” is Dean Schlabowske of Chicago’s notorious Waco Brothers. “Jo” is Jo Walston of
Austin’s Meat Purveyors.
The self-titled debut album, “Deano & Jo,” is a mix of Dean’s original songs and classic but
lesser-known covers from bluegrass and honky-tonk greats. Dean’s original songs touch on
themes of blue collar struggle (“Never Going Back”) and personal demons (“My Evil Twin”),
along with veiled political commentary (“A Promise Unfulfilled”) and character sketches
(“Murline”). The cover versions sprinkled in deal with the most vital vein of country subjects:
lost love, cheating, drinking, and death. The album is old-school enough to appeal to traditionalists, but with enough edge to put a foot in the Alt-Country/Americana world. The songs range from sprightly and lighthearted to
genuinely moving, while avoiding saccharine, singer-songwriter territory.
