3.0 out of 5 stars If You Like Robin Trower...., October 31, 2005

3 1/2 stars = Very Good

The first thing that pops into my mind & ears when I listen to Southern Gentlemen is Robin Trower, big time Robin Trower, second thing is Gary Moore, hard & heavy blues/rock Gary Moore.

Guitarist Dave Chastain wears his influences loud & proud, & is more than capable of doing them justice. His thick tone, shimmering sustains, & phrasings are outstanding in that 70's guitar hero of yore style. Chastain also sings, & just like his guitar playing, his vocals are reminiscent of James Dewar (Robin Trower) & Gary Moore, a bluesy soulful baritone. To bad Dave's song writing can't quite match his guitar & vocal capabilities, that is not to say the songs are bad on Southern Gentlemen's "Double Your Pleasure," some are very good, but as a whole they seem to run together to seamlessly, everything begins to sound the same, especially if your not paying attention. I for one love this type of music, but for the listener that is just casually interested, this album may seem a hair repetitive in the middle & latter sections. For the person who loves heavy duty blues/rock, "Double Your Pleasure," will pack plenty of wallop, not as much as Robin Trower of the 70's, but certainly more than Robin Trower of the 80's to the present, & I don't know about you, but that's a good thing in my book!

Worth a look!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS ONE HOT CD, January 14, 2004

If as Mr. CHASTAIN states, this is his reinterpretation of the 70 / 80 sounds of such luminaries as TROWER / BAD COMPANY and others as they would have sounded after the year 2000, than he has succeded. Without sounding like a rip-off merchant he puts together a CD that, while not in the same class as a TROWER CD, offers a worthwhile update of this style of musik. His guitar playing is top shelf and the musician ship in general is of the highest caliber. The songs are not all great but there are no duds either. This is one powerful rocking CD. While the lyrics will not help you solve lifes problems, they are adequate and fit well into the musical frame work.
This has not left my CD player and keeps on geting better. If you like rock, buy it.
P.S. I dare anyone to sit still during TELL ME WOMAN

I've been waiting for this CD for a long time and it was well worth the wait! These guys know how to ROCK! It's one of those rare CD's where you just put it in ,crank it up,and ENJOY!! The 2nd of many ROCKING CDs I hope. A must for any hard core rock fan. One listen & your hooked. And if you've not heard there first one "EXOTIC DANCER BLUES". What are waiting for?
