Frankie Miller - 1977 - Full House (2011 Remaster)
With 3 outstanding albums under his belt, but no substantial success, you could have forgiven Frankie Miller for just accepting his fate.
Judging by his genre hopping fourth album, Full House, (1978) he never stops long enough in one place to gain any lasting recognition. From the solid pop of ‘Doodle Song’ to the sweetly soulful ‘This Love Of Mine’, to the country flavoured ‘Let The Candle Shine’, Miller’s interpretation of his self penned material is always impressive. And just when you’re looking for more of that, he gives you something else.
Then there’s the covers: You need to be brave or foolish to interpret a John Lennon classic, ‘Jealous Guy’, or a universally recognised standard, ‘Love Letters’. Miller’s almost tangible heartfelt sincerity amplifies the fragile lyrical quality in both songs. He makes them his own. No mean achievement.
That said, it’s opener, ‘Be Good To Yourself’ that really stands out. Up front of a solid, bolted-to-the-floor rhythm section, the precision and depth of guitarist, Ray Minhinnett’s playing is a wonder to behold. His fiery licks elevate this already great Andy (Free) Fraser song way beyond its starting point. And once the Memphis Brass get on board, we’re on a funky, bluesy, rockin’ journey we hope will never end. (GetReadyToRock)
