Description
I Am a Light is an album by the American southern rock trio Damascus Road, self-released on Damascus Records/Jimmy Dunn Music Company in 1982. The album was recorded by band member Jimmy Dunn at Superb Sound Studio with the band producing. (The original album was recorded on a 8 channel Tascam 80-8 and 500 vinyl albums were pressed.)
Damascus Road features Jimmy Dunn on vocals, electric guitar, as well as slide guitar, Kenny Lawrence on bass and vocals, and Todd Geeting on drums.
No sugar on this cool custom Southern hard rock ripper from the Georgia trio of Jimmy Dunn, Kenny Lawrence, and Todd Geeting. If you like loud zippy lead slide guitar you’ll not be disappointed as they sear through explosive titles like «I Am a Light», «Outer Darkness» and the ZZ Top-ish «Hell». Good Skynyrd-type riffs throughout, spicing up boogie-edged numbers like «Make It Home», «Do You Have The Victory» and «Cutting Edge». Also some nice chiming Byrds-like electric guitar on some of the more melodic tracks such as «Thomas» and «Go Ye». Good raw production, no keyboards. Southern rock saw a handful of releases on Christian labels; unfortunately most just weren’t quite there or blew it by tossing in token fluffola ballads – but these guys are the real McCoy. 500 made.
