Blues, Blues and more Blues. Texas-style. 10 tracks of deep blues from the Lone Star State. Featuring Sue Foley (Best Traditional Female 2020 BMA’s) on guitar and Chris ‘Whipper’ Layton (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Stevie Ray Vaughan) on drums. Cut live in the studio. No overdubs, no tricks. Hammond B3/Guitar/Drums. It’s pure, ‘in-the-moment’ blues cut by 3 of today’s finest Texas Blues players…with music that still packs the dance floors down in Texas: Lightnin’ Hopkins, Juke Boy Bonner, The Nightcaps, Lazy Lester, Lightnin’ Slim, Guitar Gable and more. Rough and ready to ride the range, this is West Texas Blues.
Mike 'The Drifter' Flanigin is known as the 'go to' Hammond B3 organist for Lone Star guitar legends Jimmie Vaughan and Billy Gibbons. He has also performed onstage with Steve Miller, Eric Clapton, Robert Plant, Willie Nelson, ZZ Top, Doyle Bramhall I & II, Bonnie Raitt, Charlie Sexton and many others. His 2015 solo release THE DRIFTER reached #1 on the iTunes Blues Chart and was described by Rolling Stone Magazine as a “Road trip-worthy record, with Flanigin creating his own version of atmospheric Americiana.”
Originally from the Dallas area…he has been part of the Austin blues scene for the last thirty years. In 1990 he toured as a guitarist with Los Angeles-based The Red Devils, supporting their Warner Brothers debut King King. Upon returning to Texas, he joined the Antone's Nightclub house band, backing up many of the original blues legends from Junior Wells to Earl King. It was there that he made a career-defining switch from guitar to Hammond B3 organ. Jazz organ legend Big John Patton took Flanigin under his wing and showed him the ropes on the B3. Together, they would often make the rounds of New York City’s “organ rooms.” The giants of the B3 were still ruling the earth at that time… Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff… were all gracious enough spend time with Mike and pass along the tradition. Mike ‘The Drifter’ Flanigin is on the road more often than not, bringing Texas Blues to such legendary venues as Madison Square Garden, The Hollywood Bowl, The Beacon Theater, The LA Forum, The Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz At Lincoln Center and Royal Albert Hall.
