| "30 years ago I
heard Miki Honeycutt sing in a club in Shreveport Louisiana, she was
18 at the time and a knocked out "rock and pop" singer...
Saturday night at the Deep Ellum Blues, Miki had an air of sassy confidence typical of seasoned veterans. She sang with a soulful honesty that only comes from the heart. Miki looked great and sang even better. She sang Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy and Bonnie Raitt tunes in her own unique style. She did a superb job on "Not by man alone" and "Don't cry for me" two songs from her 1989 CD on the Rounder Label. " Her back up band " The Bluebirds" is a "tight" polished, well respected three piece blues band. . The group has three highly acclaimed CD's. Check out their web site thebluebirds.net Being a musician I was blown away by Guitarist Buddy Flett's slide playing. Guitar Magazine said he is a "textbook study in taste and tone". "The Bluebirds" is a must see if you are a serious blues lover. David "Doc" Holliday |
