Lee Gates has an incredible presence, standing well over six feet tall, his entire body draped with muscles from a life of hard work. He also has Blues genes, since he’s a first cousin to Albert Collins. If Lee isn’t a true-Blue, Mississippi Delta Bluesman, then nobody can carry that moniker. He’s also a Luther Allison-style blues rocker from Pontotoc, Mississippi. Lee hasn’t had any of the breaks that many other less-skilled blues-rockers have had in spite of his blazing guitar work and good writing skills.
'...Lee's self-titled album recorded (in only three hours) at Mill Kids Studio in Huntsville, Alabama flows through and through with no outlandish attempts at surprise or fancy put-on frills. Its charm lies in its reliability and genuine house-rocking sound. Backing up Mr. Gates are 'Nawlins' Bob Walters on bass and rhythm guitar, Lance Almon Smith on rhythm guitar and bass, Ardie Dean on drums, and of course Lee's guitar, Lucy. Mr. Gates and his unstoppable three soldiers in the army of the blues deliver on a combination of groove-infected raucous instrumentals like, 'Sweet Lucy's Groove', 'Lee's Boogie','Lucy's Voodoo', and my personal favorite: the slow deep down swaggering shake your head, 'Lucy's Cryin'. The rest of the songs are complimented not only by the dazzling guitar-work of Mr. Gates, but by his frankly earnest voice that interacts with Lucy's pleas to get up offa your thang and shake it till you break it. This divine interaction detonates a blazing chain-reaction in songs like, 'I'm Going Back Home', 'You Gotta Love Me Baby', and 'I Got a Honky Tonk Woman', that give birth to the true life of any party. I got a lingering feeling that this isn't the last we've heard of Lee Gates; my only question concerns his return to the studio: When? I hope it to be sooner rather than later...'~~by Mark Coltrain
