About The Album
The debut LP by the MeanStreet Riders is due out this summer and I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy to listen to and review.
The MeanStreet Riders are a group of musicians that also love to ride. The members of the band are Shannon Wallace, Dowlin Mayfield, Eric Lampley, Greg Torres, Kevin LaCour, and Fritz Froeschner. They decided to form their band in 2008 when they were riding Highway 129 "Deals Gap" aka "The Dragon". The song "129" tells about leaving a love behind and riding the "129". It's definately a song that any rider out there can relate to. When we saddle up and roll down the highway, hopefully we can leave all the bad stuff behind for a brief time.
The MeanSreet Riders sound alot like the Eagles. I also heard a little Molly Hatchet influence and there was a bluesy Allman Brothers feel too. I would recommend this CD as a travel enhancement for your next ride since the songs are very motorcycle and riding related. It would also be a great cd to add into your next party music rotation. After listening to the cd multiple times I found myself singing along. The song "High on the Hog" is very catchy and it's how I feel every time I ride Sadie. I really feel like I don't need anything else while I'm rolling down those back roads and I truly feel "High on the Hog". The MeanStreet Riders put their love of motorcycles and the open road to music. Their CD will bring out your own memories of past rides and rallies. It will remind you of people that you met along the way and the ones that have influenced your life. It will create excitement in your soul and it will make you feel excitement for your next great ride!
I wish The MeanStreet Riders great success with their new LP. Music and Motorcycles, a combination that sings to your soul. I really love their motto - Remember Life’s too short for traffic so Rock N Roll on the open Road!! I also like that they stand for FREEDOM and our Freedom as Riders!

About The Riders
MeanStreet Riders Rock Band formed from a group of songwriters that ride and write music about their love of an open road & freedom and adventure from it. MeanStreet Riders was actually formed accidentally in the fall of 2008 from a group of songwriting/musician riding buddies who were simply wanting to take a break from day to day life and planned a trip to ride their motorcycles through the southern United States on their way through the Ga/Tenn mountains to ride one of the most challenging and dangerous roads in the world Highway 129 " Deals Gap" or as its also known “The Dragon”. The “ Dragon " is a 11 mile stretch of road with 318 curves on a Tennesee /North Carolina border on US highway 129 and is considered a legendary motorcycle destination for riders around the world. The weeks ride ended up being a life changing event for the Riders who's members Mayfield and Wallace wrote their first song about riding the “Dragon” and called it “129” Named after that infamous piece of road.
The bands publicist MeanStreet Mary who has her own fans in excess of 100,000 is also the bands social media director. Mary met the founding members Dowlin Mayfield and Shannon Wallace in 2008 in Daytona Florida and immediately liked their message and agreed to sign on. Since the release of their title album “High on the Hog” and Mary’s involvement the band has amassed over 53,000's in 86 countries in 37 lanquages from their facebook fanpage and over 150,000 fans that have signed up through their website that follow their every move across a country that seems to be obsessed with change and challenging its Citizens freedom.
The incredible growth of the motorcycle community in the past few years is the result of millions of people in the world wanting their freedom back and hitting the road to discover some great times good friends and maybe…. themselves again. The MeanStreet Riders not only speak to those people but people in all walks of life in more than just words and invite them to go somewhere they haven’t been before and discover this great country and world before it might be too late.
Remember Life’s too short for traffic so Rock N Roll on the open Road.
