2009 debut release from the Felice Brother's Simone Felice and George Clinton collaborator Robert 'Chicken' Burke. Now on extended leave from the critically acclaimed Felice Band, drummer and vocalist Simone, alongside Burke, unveils the acoustic-Glam-Gospel combo the Duke And the King with Nothing Gold Can Stay.

Loose Music.
