So Long Angel

Falling

This band, founded in 1996 carrying the somewhat surprising name So Long Angel, is musically situated in the world of folk-rock, blues, rock and jazz. A varied repertoire which might yield some surprises. Bass player Fran McGillivray has an appealing, sultry voice. She co-wrote all songs for this album with singer/guitar player Mike Burke and singer/keyboard player Roland Kemp. So, no covers, all their own stuff. Falling opens with the rock bluesy 'Cell Phone Blues' based on a tight rhythm section. 'Rhythm & Blues' is a lovely reggae-ish tune with surprising soloing by sax player Michael Paice. So Long Angel have brought the full range of their musical experience to bear on a blues album that sparkles with superb songs, great playing and first class production values. "Some fresh tingly blues...SO LONG ANGEL - female fronted band that brings subtle, sensitive, original blues" - UK Bob.
