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.
