High Recomended! SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN explodes upon the music scene with a burning mixture of old and new influences on their debut Cd EXOTIC DANCER BLUES. The band self describes the material as Very Heavy Blues Rock. The band features the guitar work and vocals of David T. Chastain and the powerhouse rhythm section of Kevin Kekes on bass and Dennis Lesh on drums.
David states, “Obviously listening to the material will bring back memories of the legendary 70s blues rock from such bands as early ZZ Top, Robin Trower, Hendrix and even some Skynyrd influences. We just play it a little heavier! Everyone always talks about the great rock guitar playing during that era and that is what I was trying to recreate. That was the style of music that I was first attracted to when I started playing.” The guitarist continues, “Of course we were still influenced by all that has come afterwards but those years were the pinnacle for this type of music. I had plans to release a Cd similar to this in the past but other projects always seemed to have priority. Finally I decided I had to do this recording and I am so glad I did because it was a total blast! I should have done this Cd years ago.”
