Album Notes

The sound is crisp; the musicianship impeccable. You might call The Beat Daddys' new album, "Live at the Quincy Blues Fest 2007," a happy accident.

In only their third gig with a revamped lineup, the Beat Daddys had no plans for a live album when the members took the stage last summer in Quincy, Ill.

"Live at Quincy" features 14 songs from throughout the band's career. Grisham sings lead on the majority of the songs, but Stillwell, who lives in Evansville, and bassist Jon Rochner, who resides in Newburgh, take the mike for two songs apiece, and the band harmonizes more than ever before. Drummer Jeremy Clement adds a solid backbeat.
