Lee Gates’ insistent music is always compelling. Between his shredding guitar and pleading vocals, you know he means what he’s singing. Lee is a tough guy; over six feet tall and strong as can be. “You Gotta Love Me Baby” is resolute, but also shows a glimpse of another side of Lee. His mesmerizing guitar work and the pumping rhythm make a pretty compelling case. It’s true; you gotta love Lee Gates.
