Whiskey Myers debut album, Road Of Life, established the guys as a worthy heir to Skynyrd s blue-collar tradition. The sinewy sound and intense musical interplay worked well in concert, and dates began piling up in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Since September 2009, they have been touring throughout Texas and Oklahoma as well as the Midwest and the Southeast. The band's sophomore release, Firewater, ups the ante and solidifies Whiskey Myers as the genre-blending diamond in the rough, whose music has captured the attention of fans and critics alike. Produced by Leroy Powell, former guitarist for Shooter Jennings, and recorded at the famed Panhandle House in Denton, TX.
Absolutely top class Southern Rock based on the great traditional values of the genre, underpinned by youthful energy and quality song-writing & musicianship. 'Ballad Of A Southern Man' is an instant classic of the genre, and the 3 bonus tracks included on this new edition are all first rate. Oh, and don't worry about any other reviews mentioning production issues - they refer to a vinyl 'crackle' on 'Song For You' which is very much meant to be there. If you like early Skynyrd and Allman Brothers, you'll be a fan of Whiskey Myers.Review by Inferno, Amazon.co.uk
The Allman Brothers Band was the major exponent of the Southern rock movement of the late 1960s and early ‘70s, but it has turned out to be the less-well-regarded Lynyrd Skynyrd that has been more influential, at least if one is to judge by the number of groups copying their styles. It's hard to find an Allmans knock-off, but it's hard to avoid Skynyrd ones. The Texas quintet Whiskey Myers is yet another, and on the band's second album, Firewater, the musicians play by-the-numbers impersonations of early Skynyrd music. It may be that it's just easier to ape Skynyrd, who always had more of a country element and less of an R&B focus, than the Allmans. In any case, the members of Whiskey Myers play familiar guitar figures as they boast of their belligerent Southern pride. Particularly offensive is their version of "Sweet Home Alabama," here called "Ballad of a Southern Man," its lyrics full of praise for guns, Christ, and the Confederacy with no hint of the inherent contradictions. "I guess that's something you don't understand," goes the smug chorus. But bigotry has never been hard to understand, just impossible for reasonable people to accept.Review by William Ruhlmann, Allmusic.com
