Blues is the name given to both a musical form and a music genre that originated in African-American communities of primarily the “Deep South” of the United States around the end of the 19th century from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads.
Big Frank & The Healers – Sparky’s Lounge (2012)
“Blues like it oughta be:” Big Frank’s virtuoso slide-guitar and raw howlin’ vocals, plus the band’s driving electric blues sound are it.
BIG FRANK & THE HEALERS are a traditional electric blues band playing chiefly in the Chicago and Delta blues styles, while touching on the swampy sounds of Louisiana and Texas. The band has been cited in publications as far afield as Austria’s ‘Blues Gazette’. Local favorites, they have appeared in nightclubs and performed at many concerts including the headline spot at the 2004 Lake George Blues Festival. They were featured artists at The Glens Falls Blues Festival, and the Blues 2000+4 Festival. For several years they’ve played to concert crowds, including performances at Rockefeller Center’s City Sounds, Staten Island’s Back-to-the-Beach and Twilight series, and at Snug Harbor Cultural Center.
Leader, guitarist, and vocalist “BIG FRANK” MIRRA founded Big Frank & The Healers. On his ‘King Biscuit Flour Hour’ show, KFFA radio’s Sonny Payne likened Frank’s playing to that of Hound Dog Taylor. Frank’s specialty is slide guitar. His other credits include The Mohair Sam Band and The Street Hawks, an acoustic group which focuses early roots music.
Nosmo Kings – Falling Rhinos (2003)
The Nosmo Kings are an exciting trio of musicians that are taking traditional Blues music formats and combining them with contemporary rock techniques and successfully forging their own brand of music.
This collection of original material reflects the intensity and maturity of the band’s songwriting abilities. Concentration of layered vocal harmonies and complex musical arrangements combined with a “heavier and funkier” sound make this the best Nosmo Kings CD yet.
