"Go For What You Know" led to an immense increase of his fan base, is considered
an all-time classic and a "must-have" for any guitar fan. Last but not
least, T.M. Stevens, with his ferocious, yet melodic, style of Bass playing
that is as unique as his larger than life persona, has been Involved with
various superstars, artists such as Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, James Brown,
Billy Joel and Steve Vai. Recorded at The House Of Blues, Myrtle Beach,

Blues Rock that highlights not only the technical competence of each individual

Dictators |
Escapi Music reports: New CD: The Dictators
"Viva Dictators" (Escapi Music) Release date Europe/North America: July
12
Formed in 1974, New York City's The Dictators
is one of the finest and most influential proto-punk bands to walk the
earth. Originally formed as an homage/response to the MC5, Flamin Groovies,
New York Dolls and the Stooges, the Dictators wound up playing a similarly
crucial and inspirational role to the generations that followed them. In
1991 the original Dictators reformed (with drummer Frank Funaro, later
replaced by Wild Kingdom skinsman J.P. "Thunderbolt" Patterson) and set
out on tour, something they have done with increasing dedication, geographic
reach and consistency ever since. "Viva Dictators", showcases 15 proto-punk
classics (plus an additional bonus track recorded at sound check), by one
of the best live bands on the planet. This is pop punk for grownups, with
worldly lyrics that may leave younger listeners in the cultural dark. Wisely,
the Dictators do not pretend to be anything they're not, but that doesn't
keep them from being both contemporary and true to their legacy.[see full
