Frankie Miller - 1975 - The Rock (2011 Remaster) (Flac)
It was officially credited to The Frankie Miller Band, but The Rock was very much a personal statement. Now, it stands as his definitive album. The title track’s heavy lyrics refer to Alcatraz, on which sits the former penitentiary, which was visible from the studio in San Francisco where the album was recorded. Miller always said he might have ended up in prison were it not for music.
The realities of his life – the hard times and hard drinking – were also expressed in Bridgeton and Drunken Nights In The City. Upbeat tracks A Fool In Love and Ain’t Got No Money would become signature songs.
