He started out playing guitar in a free-noise-rock band called Negative Eh (that became the avant-garde soundscape band Nova Scotia who have albums on Metonymic and Pseudo Arcana) and in Hitachi Slurs (a pop band dedicated to Beat Happening). He has also played in The Rick Jensen Trio (saxophone, piano and cello) and with The Shambolics as "Richie Rhinestone and the Insatiable Opium Cowboys" (guitar, vocals). These days he mostly performs solo, and sometimes with his wife Robyn Kenealy (who sings and plays banjo). Quoted as being influenced by "Palace (Will Oldham/Bonny Prince Billy), Johnny Cash, Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson, Songs Ohia (Magnolia Electric), Appendix Out, Jaime Mellor, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and a whole lot of other stuff that sounds nothing like country-blues" he sounds a little like these people (sometimes) and also nothing at all like them. In 2000 he self-issued a series of early recordings as Songs for Ducks, The Rabbit N' Me and Pig Tailes. In 2002 and 2003 he released the storybook albums "The Lord's Work" (no, he is not Christian) and "The Ballads of Morgan Brown". Postmoderncore Records released the live recording Wireless and in 2007 the album Dick Whyte and his Golden Guitar finally came out with brand new tracks from 2002-2006 (with special guests Dean Brown
