Press Reviews ............................................................ ............................................................ ...........Mini Rider Magazine: ............................................................ ............................................................ ........... All too often, young riders think they need to get "amped" for a moto by listening to screaming vocals and ear-bursting power chords. Nonsense! Too much metal in the pits can make you so nervous that you'll jump the gate and overshoot the first turn. What you need is something smooth, something stylish, something like Dawson James and the Evening Groove. This 15-track album features a wide array of sick tunes that wander in sound from rock to funk, blues to reggae, latin to jazz and then back to rock and groove. The good, clean vocals complimented by the well-dialed instrumentals are sure to get you in the mood for a mistake-free ride. As if that wasn't enough, the group's lead singer, Dawson James, used to race motocross. And not just local, weekend motocross; we're talking World Mini, Ponca and Loretta Lynns motocross! Although he now spends more time with his fingers on his guitar strings than on his levers, Dawson is still a passionate fan of the sport, and he probably still hauls. In fact, he even has a picture of himself busting a holeshot in front of James Stewart when the two were racing 85ccs at the Nationals. Yes, that James Stewart! If you're looking for some awesome tunes that won't give you mental arm pump (from a lead singer that can blitz Supercross whoops), hop on the computer and track down Dawson James and the Evening Groove. You'll be glad you did. -Chris Denison ............................................................ ............................................................ ...........Indie Showcase: ............................................................ ............................................................ ...........I popped by your site tonight, and I have to tell ya, I love your sound!!
