He has the amazing ability to write memorable lyrics as well as a smooth unforgettable voice. Joe Fair’s quality is a quality that can’t be learned. His son, David Fair is arguably one of the finest singers in Nashville. He was writer and lead singer for the hard rock metal band Medicine Mann, which opened for such bands as Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister.
