MIKE FLANIGIN * WEST TEXAS BLUES *
WEST TEXAS BLUES
Blues, Blues and more Blues. Texas-style. Hammond organist Mike ‘The Drifter’ Flanigin delivers 10 tracks of deep blues from the Lone Star State. Cut live in the studio. No overdubs, no tricks. “I wanted to walk in with great players (Chris ‘Whipper’ Layton, Sue Foley) and record an album live in an afternoon, call songs and play ‘em… like the Blues records they used to make” says Flanigin. It’s pure, ‘in-the-moment’ blues by 3 of today’s finest Texas Blues players…with music that still packs the dance floors south of The Red River: Lightnin’ Hopkins, Juke Boy Bonner, The Nightcaps, Lazy Lester, Lightnin’ Slim, Guitar Gable and more. Rough and ready to ride the range, this is West Texas Blues.

Mike 'The Drifter' Flanigin is a shining light of the Texas Blues scene. A master of the Hammond B3 organ, he is known for his organ trio work… as a solo artist, and also in collaborations with Texas guitar legends Jimmie Vaughan, Billy Gibbons and Steve Miller. From dancehalls and beer joints across Texas… to Madison Square Garden, Royal Albert Hall, The LA Forum & The Montreux Jazz Festival.

Another Texas legend, Steve Miller calls Flanigin “…my very favorite Blues and Jazz organist.” Some of their work together can be heard on Steve Miller’s ‘The Vault’ Box Set.
