DELMARK RECORDS Release: DE 848 Release Date: October 21, 2016 www.delmark.com
CAB DRIVING MAN is Mississippi Heat’s 12th recording,
and 6th release on Delmark Records. Passionate and melodic
harmonica player Pierre Lacocque leads his band by providing 11
original songs, while maestro guitar player Michael Dotson sings
on 3 of his own compositions. Lead singer Inetta Visor delivers
stellar vocals on 12 songs, including 2 covers: “Don’t Mess Up a
Good Thing” here a duet with Giles Corey; originally made famous
by Fontella Bass and Bobby McClure, and “Smooth Operator”
previously recorded by Sarah Vaughan. CAB DRIVING MAN takes
you from vintage, low-down Chicago and Delta blues to exciting
boogies, Latin beats, and R&B ballads. Special guests include Sax
Gordon, Dave Specter, Sumito Ariyo, and Ruben Alvarez. Delmark
Records has high expectations for this award-worthy release!
Advanced Critical Acclaim
“‘Cab Driving Man’ brings a veritable blues smorgasbord to your
ears. From Cotton Club Cab Calloway blues to the blues of NOLA
party dens, boogie-woogie to cajun, this album has it all. There’s
even hat tips to Robert Nighthawk and Robert Lockwood Jr.
There are no wooden nickles here. This is the genuine article.
This band is so tight, they could bind up a charging lion with the
web of a spider.”
–BARRY KERZNER EDITOR IN CHIEF, AMERICAN BLUES SCENE
“It’s an awesome listen. Mississipi Heat sure turns the heat up on
this new set of 16 songs. To call the ensemble playing tight is a vivid
under-statement, the inter-play between musicians is top class.
Fine musicianship topped off with the vocals of Michael Dotson
and Inetta Visor, at turns sultry & sweet also gritty & edgy.
Impressive Chicago blues, from old school to funky, with some
boogie woogie, jazzy and swinging tunes.”
–TONY STOREY, BLUES AT THE TABLE, www.fmr.co.za
“With excellent musicianship and superior attention to the
groove, this set of blues is a vivacious and entertaining trip!”
–JOHN THE ROCK DOCTOR, GONZO OKANAGAN GO
