The Mick Ralphs Blues Band
A blues-rock legend keeping great company
(Jun 2011) Mick Ralphs, a founder of two iconic rock bands and still touring with both, takes time out to explore his blues, soul and funk roots. The Bad Company and Mott The Hoople guitarist is joined by some of the best-known names on the current blues scene to play blues and R’n’B favourites – from B.B. King and Otis Rush to Robert Johnson and Sonny Boy Williamson – alongside fresh interpretations of some of Mick’s own classic songs.
Sam Kelly – drums
Sam Kelly has dominated the UK and European scene for the last 20 years. As well as his own band, Station House, he has featured on sessions with some of the biggest names from around the world – from Dr John and Ben E. King, to Chaka Khan, Eddie Floyd and Desmond Dekker.
Son Maxwell – vocals and harmonica
Critically acclaimed vocalist and harmonica ace Son Maxwell broke onto the international scene with Storm Warning and now fronts his own Unruly Blues outfit. British R’n’B legend Chris Farlowe covered Son’s “The Woman? Or The Blues?”, co-written with Storm Warning, on his recent Hotel Eingang album.
Jim Maving – guitar and vocals
Jim Maving has been playing blues, funk and Americana with his band The Kickback since 1995. His renowned slide guitar brings echoes of Duane Allman and Ry Cooder to complement Mick’s classic British blues sound.
Dicky Baldwin – bass
Dicky Baldwin has been working with Mick Ralphs for ten years and has also provided his solid, grooving bass lines for Albert Lee, Gordon Giltrap and country star George Hamilton 4th.
