description: "Daniel Ivan Hicks was an American singer-songwriter and musician, and the leader of Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. His idiosyncratic style combined elements of cowboy folk, jazz, country, swing, bluegrass, pop, and gypsy music. He is perhaps best known for the songs \"I Scare Myself\" and \"Canned Music\". His songs are frequently infused with humor, as evidenced by the title of his tune \"How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?\" His album Live at Davies (2013) capped over forty years of music."
