Known mostly as being “the guy who plays the chainsaw” as a
member of the Hard-Rock outfit Jackyl, on the Mainstream Rock top 40 hit
"The Lumberjack", Jesse James Dupree began to play guitar and
sing in the late '80s in his hometown of Kennesaw, Georgia USA. He really
customized an electric guitar with a chainsaw attached.
After four albums with Jackyl, Dupree recorded as a solo artist, "Foot
Fetish", in collaboration with guitarist John Hayes, former Brother
Cane bassist Roman Glick and studio drummer Tony Belser. The disc was
released in June 2000 to mixed reviews while drummer John Skinner was
brought in for the tour that consisted of opening gigs for such Rock heavyweights
as Queensrÿche and Stone
Temple Pilots. The album's first single, "Mainline", did
eventually receive airplay and managed to crack the Billbord's Mainstream
Rock top 40.
In early 2001 Jackyl reformed and the modern Southern-Rock band released
yet another album in the following year.
July 2008 saw the release of "Rev It Up And Go-Go" a new album
credited to Jesse James Dupree & Dixie Inc. which begins with the
title-track and first single.
