Whilst his 2009 album 'Pistol City Holiness' was described as a "blues rock masterpiece" by the critics, Dave Perkins is the first to admit that he has found neither fame nor fortune in his four decades of music making. What the Tennessee-based singer/guitarist has achieved though is a loyal clique of admirers who still fondly remember his contributions to the '80s rock band Chagall Guevara while his fine guitar work has in the pas been compared with such giants as Ry Cooder and Phil Keaggy. Yet throughout the ups and downs of life the veteran muso has remained spiritually focussed, once commenting, "As artists we must reach high musically but we must learn to put Jesus even higher than that."
'Pistol City Holiness' saw Perkins offer blues-based riffs crafted around stomping rock melodies. The result as Perkins probably expected was a critical success which failed to turn into large sales. Talking about the album Perkins said, "I wanted to make an album that brought back the excitement I felt when I first heard Muddy Waters, Cream, Fred McDowell and Peter Green." Certainly the blues' soulful nature is captured by Perkins who sings with a rawness complemented by his revving guitar chugging along throughout the album. Critics called the album "high velocity southern blues rock, a seismic mixed breed of tradition and post-mod." Stereotypical Americana blues this album certainly was not. Besides all of the compliments for the album, reviewers hoped Perkins would not leave such a long gap before releasing his next album.
