Biography
Dee's simple creed is God's Grace * Good Folks & Good Music are certainly a Blessing! And if you're bringing negative vibes to the party please exit stage left!
Dee Rocks Texas roots run deep with both sides of his family coming from the Lone Star State of Texas. Growing up all kinds of music was played at his home, especially Country music, Southern Rock and Rhythm & Blues. His Mom listened to music by Micky Gilley and Ronnie Milsap and would sing around the house all the time. Dee's Dad,a true music lover, would sip his I.W.Harper whiskey while listening to music by Ray Charles, the Allman Brothers Band,BB King and Glen Campbell. All of that great music combined has steered him down the road which he's on today!
Dee has been fortunate to wear many different hats in the music industry,from producing and writing for various record company's which include Virgin,EMI,Capitol Records and Disney as well as writing songs for the Warner Bros. film "Divas". His guitar playing can be heard on the TLC show "American Chopper" as well as on the Discovery channel biker show "Southern Steel/Milwaukee Iron" on which he also sang the shows theme song.
Dee Rock's new CD "The Road Ain't Long" on Cimarron Records Nashville, has ten great songs from start to finish. This is pure Country Soul sung straight from the heart the way it was meant to be heard. Dee is very proud of his new cd and was Blessed to work with such talented & wonderful people. Co-producer Tom Paden, his songs have been recorded by country artist Reba Mcentire, George Strait and Kenny Rogers. Eddie Kilgallon, keyboardist & band leader for Montgomery Gentry, co- wrote "Callin' all Cowgirls" with Dee Rock & Tom Paden.T.W.Cargile who works with award winning country artist,Jamey Johnson,mixed all ten songs and put the finishing touches on the Dee Rock mojo!
James Otto, in an interview used the term "Country Soul" in describing the music that he sings and I would have to say that "Country Soul" would best describe the music of Dee Rock as well! So country music lovers put this cd on in your truck and just PUSH PLAY!
