Hear The Beat

Searing guitar, wailing harmonica and undeniable vocal power are woven into this collection of well crafted soulful songs. Eleven tracks that flow seamlessly from Blues to Southern Soul where just a touch of Southern Rock can be felt. The Beat Daddys ninth CD release also marks the first studio project of original songs released by the groups' songwriting team of Larry Grisham and Tommy Stillwell in over 21 years. A product of the music of the 60s & early 70s when the lines between musical genres were not as pronounced as they are today, their songs keep you "looking around every corner" to hear what's coming next…

Guitarist Rory Gallagher never wanted to be a star. He only wanted to make music on his own terms and have the opportunity to play that music for an audience who would genuinely appreciate it. Watching the double DVD set Ghost Blues and The Beat Sessions illustrates the Irish-born blues-rocker's success on those terms he set for himself so emphatically, and to which he remained loyal throughout his career.

The Beat Daddys' new bump and grind CD, "Five Moons" makes you want to, well . . . . . bump and grind. The duo has called Malaco Records of Jackson, Mississippi home, since 1990. Drummers and bass players come and go, but the core of the Beat Daddys has remained Larry Grisham on lead vocals and Britt Meacham on lead guitar for 20 years. Larry says that they are the few, possibly, only white players signed by Malaco. Paul Scott is the band's drummer and they are actively seeking a full-time bassist.
All tracks of the new album were written by Grisham who lives in a FEMA trailer in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. His 6'5". frame doesn't fit into the "queen-sized" bed so he sleeps diagonally, and his feet still hang over the end, and his head hits the wall behind him. It's parked in the middle of a cow pasture which turns to mush at the first sign of rain. "But it's a place to stay, anyway. Getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night is an experience." He spends most of his days on the road, sleeping in motel and hotel rooms, spreading the wealth of the Beat Daddys experience. His parents lived on the bay in Bay St. Louis and lost everything to Katrina. They now live in Newburgh, Indiana…..
