2008-04-04 10:01:00

Mississippi Heat has a new CD out - HATTIESBURG BLUES. They are probably one of the best unknown harmonica based bands out there. Harmonica player Pierre Lacocque is not to be missed.

This is MISSISSIPPI HEAT's 8th CD. Musicians on this project are members of Pierre's touring band: Inetta Visor (vocals), Giles Corey (guitar), Stephen Howard (bass), and Kenny Smith (drums). This recording project has 13 tracks: 12 originals songs written and/or co-written by Pierre, and one cover by Denise LaSalle ("Soft-Hearted Woman"). In addition to a strong Chicago feel, the CD presents a variety of exciting latin and Gospel-laden blues.

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
