About the Artist
Living on the road and playing clubs from "Austin to Boston", the Bel Airs are carrying on the tradition of American Rhythm and Blues. Now based in Columbia, Missouri, the Bel Airs are easily one of the hottest and most entertaining blues bands in the country.

Brothers Dick and David Pruitt front the band on bass and electric guitars. Drummer Michael Cherry is well known for his powerful groove. David's "big guitar" sound and Dick's howling vocals over soulful rhythm playing make this trio a powerhouse.

Band members: Dick Pruitt: vocals, bass guitar
David Pruitt: vocals, slide and electric guitar
Michael Cherry: drums

Product Description
'Dangerous Curves' marks the successful translation of the roadhouse flavor of the Bel Airs' live shows onto disc. The Bel Airs and stellar musical guests like Johnnie Johnson at the piano give twelve cuts their unique treatment powered by a rock-solid rhythm section. Even the uninitiated would suspect the sibling vocal harmonies to be more than coincidental. Fans who've seen the band perform will recognize some favorite quirky Bel Airs' originals like 'Girl On the TV News' and 'Chinese Rock', as well as house rockin' covers like 'Hook My Pony' and 'Nadine'. Sure to satisfy longtime fans and gain some new ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars The saga continues..., October 29, 2000

By A Customer

Another absolute WINNER with that midwest BLUES sounds coming some of the finest musicians the midwest has to offer. Rock solid groove, driving bass lines, and fat sounding skirting guitar.... NOT TO forget that distinct blues voice and harmonies. Belairs have scored with another WINNER... The Blues world is lucky to have 'em...

5.0 out of 5 stars Blues/Surf/Party Music - Just Plain Fun, June 13, 2006

I just started listening to the Bel Airs about a year ago. Picked up Dangerous Curves along with Voodoo Party. This one is my favorite of the two. Sucks you right in with my personal favorite, "Gonna Walk", and holds on solidly from there. These guys are just fun - great driving music. Just ordered their disc with Mark Wenner (formerly of The Nighthawks)and hope it's as good.
