"Boogie Woogie Blue Plate", from Friskin' the Whiskers
Macy Blackman and the Mighty Fines
Been busy getting this CD together. And all our hard work has been rewarded.
Friskin' the Whiskers is more than a little different from our usual fare. It was conceived
of as a record for swing dancing, but it’s so expertly done by the Mighty Fines
that it makes for great listening - even if you just SIT THERE.
So lace up or just get comfortable and dive in.
Our CD, I Didn't Want to Do It, is also available to purchase. You can sample a track below.
"Something's Got A Hold On Me", from I Didn't Want To Do It
Macy Blackman and the Mighty Fines
This record is the result of having five world class musicians developing their first love, New Orleans rhythm and
blues, for six years, then putting the best of it on the CD. All of the Mighty Fines are accomplished musicians
in the truest sense of the word - we have over 250 years of professional experience between us. But even though
we could play bebop, symphonies, whatever, we turn our talents to the incredible music our generation grew up
with, ROCK AND ROLL.
We ably demonstrate that this music can be played with as much attention to artistry and
fineness as any music, and still entertain everyone. We don't play warhorses into the ground, either. Most of the songs
here are somewhat obscure - the others are just so good that you don't get sick of them EVER! Happy listening!
And you can still buy Macy Blackman and the Mighty Fines' second CD, Don't You Just Know It.
"The five musicians make up a mighty fine bunch for this spirited trip into the heart of New Orleans music and some of the stylistic branches it has spawned."
