This is the real stuff. The Beat Daddys get it and they ain't afraid to show it. The CD "Delta Vision" explores life and love while
featuring "the American Eric Clapton" on guitar.
Upfront but with style,
the songs and lyrics of Larry Grisham meld
seamlessly with the
outrageous yet smooth as cotton hammer licks of the great Britt Meacham.
"Can't Be Satisfied" says it all because these guys hold
nothing back.
"Somebody's Waiting" borrows from gospel music as it
builds and explodes with passion. Grisham's intense vocals backed up
by Meacham's enlightening guitar work express a truly delta state of
mind.
"Luna Blue" wanders through deep woods before finding Britt
Meacham under a large magnolia absolutely howling at the moon.
Rooted
in real life and dead set on uplifting, the music of The Beat Daddys'
will stick to you, like gumbo to the ribs.
"After The Mystery" is
as funky as it is honest. The late Bob Greenlee with crisp, pulsating
bass, pushes the whole band deep in the voodoo. "Phone call from Jackson can't clear up the haze, are you comin' to visit for the holidays?"
My favorite track is the title track, "Delta Vision." Everything you ever
wanted or needed to know about music is all right there
in the line, "the
music gives us delta vision." The Beat Daddys
certainly see it all and with Delta Vision they get busy paying
tribute to what they have witnessed. The mojo is workin', definitely.
