A longtime component of one the 80’s most stylish r&b sounds with the group Shalamar, guitarist Micki Free doses his own soulful blues fare with abundant style and drive.  A sure-fingered guitarslinger whether in “clean” or distortion mode, Mr. Free’s fretwork and smoky vocals adorn fresh sounding blues-anchored originals; meaty lyrics are a constant.  Standing out are “God Is On The Phone”, “Tattoo Burn” and “Six Feet Down in The Blues”. Ex-Stone Bill Wyman, Cindy Blackman-Santana and Howard Hewett guest.
