专辑简介

The former leader of Back Alley Blues Band steps into the limelight with his first solo record, 49x61. Inspired by a trip to Mississippi, the title track "49 Cross 61", "Cross Roads Stomp", "The Boxcar Tourist" and "Goin Down South" all get that rock-solid down home blues feel. "House Of The Rising Sun" is a completely new take on one of the most revered American songs ever. "I Got What I Wanted" and "Moving To Splitsville" recall second generation Chicago-style blues, while "Monday Morning Blues" and "Back Alley Blues" explore the somewhat jazzier side of things. Rounding out the collection is "Queen Of Hearts" which is an ode to two staples of the blues-women and gambling, with "Troubles Be On My Mind" rounding out the set with a last-call feel before the dawn. Look for Franc Robert & The Boxcar Tourists around Florida real soon!
