MACY BLACKMAN AND THE MIGHTY FINES [http://www.macyblackman.com/] are
universally regarded as the Bay Area’s premier New Orleans
R&B/boogie band. On their latest release, _Shoorah Shoorah - The
Songs of Irma Thomas and Allen Toussaint_, Blackman and his veteran
band pay tribute to the genius of the Soul Queen and King of New
Orleans.
This marks the sixth CD release for Blackman, who formed The Mighty
Fines in 2003. Blackman, who has accompanied Mac Rebennack (aka Dr.
John) and also backed up such national acts as The Coasters and The
Drifters during his illustrious career, features a highly accomplished
band.
The Mighty Fines include saxophonists Nancy Wright (John Lee Hooker,
B.B. King, Elvin Bishop), Ken “Snakebite” Jacobs (Neville
Brothers, The Band, Temptations, Gatemouth Brown), bassist Bing Nathan
(Lavay Smith’s Red Hot Skillet Lickers) and drummer Larry Vann
(Martha Reeves, Elvin Bishop, Charles Brown, Buffy Saint-Marie).
