Description
Label Review.
Frankie Miller is a well-loved but perhaps somewhat forgotten artist from the 70’s British Rock/Folk scene. Artists as varied as Rod Stewart, The Traveling Wilburys and Ray Charles have recorded Miller’s songs, while he has collaborated with Phil Lynott, Bob Seger, Joe Cocker, Johnny Hallyday, and many more. It’s a testament to the high regard with which Miller’s contemporaries hold him – and to Miller’s own wide-ranging, genre-spanning talents – that so many of music’s biggest names gathered together to help finish 19 of his unreleased tracks. Recorded as duets with Frankie’s original vocal, this album features new recordings from Elton John, Rod Stewart, Kid Rock, Joe Walsh (The Eagles), Willie Nelson, Hotei Tomoyasu, Paul Carrack, Francis Rossi, Bonnie Tyler, Huey Lewis, and more.
Our overview.
Frankie Miller who was forced to retire in the 90s with health issues is back with another one of those "new" albums which as the blurb above says was concocted out of outtakes and overdubbed by artists who still hold him in high regard.
