Frankie Miller - Once In A Blue Moon


Rating: 4/5

Review
Still a very good album

This remains a very good album. I was only rather peripherally aware of Frankie Miller at the time and I’d forgotten what a very fine singer he is. His voice is all his own, but has elements of Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart and even Roger Chapman at times and he really knows how to use it to great effect in putting a song over. The material here is largely good, solid bluesy rock with a good mixture of stuff. It’s not all great – I could do without this version of Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues, for example – but there’s some really good stuff here. Brinsley Schwartz are, of course, excellent as Miller’s band and the whole thing is very enjoyable.

Frankie Miller isn’t a household name now, but he’s still very well worth listening to as a really good blues/rock singer. Recommended.
