Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks type music, any others?

Listening to them on the way in and was wondering if there are any other bands/groups that do this kind of genre? Seemed like at one time it was called "Dog Music"? I Googled Dog Music and nothing really came up except maybe a CD for a poodle. Always been a favorite Sunday morning drink your coffee type of tunes. Any suggestions?
Thanks, John

It's funny, I love most of the acts mentioned but don't associate any of them with the sound of Dan Hicks. The closest thing that I can think of is Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys.

BTW, if you can find a quad copy of Hicks' "Strikin' It Rich" jump on it. Great music, enthralling fidelity.

I agree with above posts, there is nothing like Dan Hicks.
I have been a big fan since the early 70s.
If you ever have the opportunity to see him live do it.

I'd call him kinda country swing. Try Asleep at the Wheel, maybe.

The Pandora thing is a good idea. I dont listen to it as I usually listen to Radio Paradise on the internet.
"Dawg". That makes more sense. Mary Ann Price, what a voice. I have all the Hicks LP's. The "Stricking it Rich" LP is recorded extremely well. Crank up "I Scare Myself" & the violins will send chills up your spine.

You should audition Jorma Kaukonen's "Blue Country Heart". It's available on SACD and one of my favorites.
