REVIEW: Southern Gentlemen - Exotic Dancer Blues Leviathan Records, 2000
5/10
Southern Gentlemen - Exotic Dancer Blues - cover art The band self describes the material as "very Heavy Blues Rock" and features the guitar work and vocals of David T. Chastain (and also Kevin Kekes on bass - a former member of Damien- and Dennis Lesh on drums). I was personally hoping to receive a release that was closer to the style that we all came to love David, which is pure heavy metal or instrumental Metal music. Sadly -as it is becoming obvious straight away from the album title- this is not the case. I have no problem with the fact that the band tried to take their early ZZ Top, Robin Trower, Hendrix and (to smaller quantities) Skynyrd influences and just play their music in a heavier way! My problem is that the blues simply don't excite me at all, even though it is obviously well played. Apparently David wanted to release a "Heavy Blues Rock" album for a long time, but time constrains probibited him from doing so. He claims to be happy to have created this album and from the fact that he has also managed to do the lead vocals on this album. As for the lyrical content, it is about sex, love, lust and heartbreak and obviously Exotic Dancers!
