""The Morning End" Album Review"

Lemmon indulges in the kind of love-'em-or-hate-'em big rock vocals that have put post-grunge hard-rock bands such as Nickelback and Creed on the radio, and Smithhart gives the band a big rock guitar sound to match. This record also expands the band's arena-rock palette. Smithhart provides a hooky riff on "Change Your Mind," a vaguely bluesy, vaguely "Southern rock" number that evokes the Black Crowes. And Lemmon's vocals on "Second Chance" veer into more soul-oriented, near falsetto territory that evokes Maroon 5 or Jeff Buckley. - Memphis Flyer - Chris Herrington

"Album Review"

The music provides the basis for instant addiction. It's one of those rare CD's that you can listen to begining to end without ever skipping a song. No doubt these guys will be selling out stadiums soon.

"Album Review"

This CD combines sphelt lyrics over which Rusty Lemon truly labored. Each song on this album exudes true heart and down to earth sentiment."Thoughts of Violence" seems to be so real and it almost breaks my heart to hear it. Rusty Lemon truly sings about the dark side of life but then brings in some hope throughout this album. It's truly an album full of insightful songs and amazing talent.
- CD Baby, Listener Review, Amy


"Performance Review"

Talented. Witty. Entertaining. It's obvious to anyone who's seen them that Rusty Lemon enjoy being on stage. They have long entertained Mid-South audiences with their intelligent blend of classic rock covers and modern favorites.

Bio

Rusty Lemon has been dubbed, “Memphis’s Supergroup” by the media after local best-of musicians found a home together united by a common vision – to lead the Rock & Soul Memphis Renaissance. It only takes one song to understand Rusty Lemon’s strength is in the band’s diversity. Their sound is already being called current classic with clear roots in Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd influenced by such modern legends like Radiohead and Pearl Jam. Rusty Lemon produces a timeless sound with a broad appeal that can be heard through a fusion of backgrounds. From the two lead guitars including international award winning blues master Kirk Smithhart and former alt-metal band leader Steve Williams to the percussion section including internationally recorded gospel and blues drummer Dave Mason and modern jam band player, Landon Moore, on bass. This tapestry of sound is woven together with the beautifully haunting voice of Rusty Lemmon whose range and style is being compared to vocal legend Jeff Buckley.

Rusty Lemon’s sound caught the ear of Producer Pete Matthews from Los Angeles based Lippman Entertainment Group. Pete gained fame as a producer after discovering and producing Grammy award winning “Evanescence”. He recently produced and engineered Rusty Lemon’s current album, The Morning End at the legendary Ardent Studios located in Memphis, TN.
