Hola cabezones,
Estoy feliz de poder publicado aquí la primera banda de southern rock E.U. en este blog. Ok , no es realmente el tipo de música que solemos encontrar aquí , pero con la diversidad de género en este blog , creo que tiene su lugar . Desde mi adolescencia yo soy un gran aficionados de la música rock sureño , pero he descubierto sólo este gran álbum con el Akarma reedición 2001 (tengo tanto lp y cd ediciones ) . Este álbum es ahora parte de mis favoritos. El álbum original en Rumble Records ( 1980 ) es muy rara , pero todavía se pueda encontrar si usted está listo para poner el dinero y aceptar todos los ruidos de fondo que puede encontrar en un lp utilizado .
La canción " One In The Sun" (a pesar del crédito en la portada de una O'Brian desconocido) fue escrito por Steve Gaines, jugó por primera vez con su grupo Crawdad , luego con Lynyrd Skynyrd ) . En la manga el original: " el álbum está respetuosamente dedicado a la memoria de Steve Gaines " .
Así que chicos , si te gusta la Allman Brothers Band, Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band etc Te recomiendo encarecidamente este álbum.

Disfrute !

Laurent.

The Dave Chastain Band from Peoria / Illinois, the rare album “Rockin ‘Roulette” of 1980 in Southern rock circles really cult status, This is their self-financed Private press on Rumble Records. LP produced by Craig Moore.

This album gains a deserved reissue on Akarma CD which was the 1st chance to most of us got to hear an ’80s band sounding and looking very much like an early ’70s band in the style of the Allman brothers.
This US band Filled with great fluid guitar breaks and jamming tracks, but never losing sight of the melody,dual-lead-guitars w/slide ‘n meaty organ-bass grounding! has that melodic punch…. “Highway Man” – track is 100% winner of the genre!! …multinucleated blues-rock numbers and funky grooves with subtle jam feeling to sometimes a soulful, emotional blues ballad!.
Here comes the band in a very compact, although of course, Mr. Chastain with his eminently strong guitar playing takes center stage. Again and again he inspires with emotionally strong, powerful, spicy riffs, as well as with a lot of magical attractive, fiery, bold, and more playful solos that leave neat idea. The sound is extremely clear, it all sounds “juicy”, clear and full, sometimes a little “retro-reverberant”! Is really good! Southern-Rock collection’s top-rated U.S. Southern-Rock Published in 1980 this album has a sound so damn southern flow that while the songs you get the impression of being mixed with the mouth of whiskey and dust. 
A soldier with the Confederate flag riding a buffalo, here is the cover of ‘Rockin' Roulette’, one of the many tributes to a genre that represents the history and soul of American rock. 
Dave Chastain, the band’s guitarist and one of the singers, it shows good composer, though at a very energetic and engaging the first side, a second fraction responds to the alternation. “Sunshine”, “Breezin”,”Gotta Get Away” are songs that drip with attitude and southern “Highway Man” at the time, then won an award from FM 106, as one of the most played songs and popular in the midwest (Review by the legendary great Adamus 67, thanks a lot my friend).
