General Lee

There are music nerds, and then there are people who like music to be playing while they get drunk. Music nerds wear tight black pants, Technic sweatshirts, and they work in music stores. Partiers wear AC/DC T-shirts, ball caps, and you'd swear their occupation was drinking beer. I respect both philosophies, but if you're a music nerd, read no further. If you have grease under your fingernails or, ladies, if you own a tube top, General Lee is your band.

General Lee plays bluesy Southern rock. "Rockin' Till I'm Gone" and "Just Enough" are your traditional Lynyrd Skynyrd-type songs with lyrics about aeroplanes, Southern women, and whiskey. "Big Reaper" and "Lonely Drifter" are slower, more on the blues side, and speak about impending death, women leaving in the night, and disgrace in the rain.

The drums, bass, and rhythm guitar are snappy and driving, but the lead guitar and vocals are the focus of any Southern rock band worth its boots. David Myers's vocals are a dead giveaway to one of his influences; he sounds almost exactly like Stevie Ray Vaughan. His guitar is not quite as good as SRV, but it'll get the job done if you're in a beer bar and want to dance.

I heard David Myers at Adams Street Fair. They were the best band out there. I think your wrong...everyone seemed to like them even little kids and the lead guitar was incredible live. I think we are lucky to have such a talented guitar player local. They don't come around often.

David Myers is one of the best guitar players around and he can compare to Steve Ray Vaughn and other professional players. The band in itself is awesome. I have heard them play at Adams Ave and other places and the crowd loved them and even wanted their cd's autographed. They should get signed on to a record label.

	Artist: General Lee Song: "Rockin' Till I'm Gone" (from the CD Rough, Rugged & Raw) Heard By: Angel Lopez, Imperial Beach I'd say it had a little Metallica feel to it. The first thing that popped into my head was "Enter Sandman." I liked that the lyrics were something that everyone can sing along to -- which is good because I don't listen to that kind of music, but it was still enjoyable to me. I think it'd be kind of a cool concert to go to. What I really liked was the guitar solo; I was ready to take off the headphones because I got the general feel [of the song], but when I heard the guitarist I wanted to listen to the rest.
