739.0. "FRANKIE MILLER" by KERNEL::BARTHUR () Thu Sep 13 1990 12:36

    
    	Does anyone out there have any Frankie Miller material. I am
    	particularly interested in a video which was filmed at the 
    	Mean Fiddler in London some years back.

739.1Rumbledown Band ?SUBURB::PULLANRUpRising at the CastleThu Sep 13 1990 17:049
    I have a track on a compilition of Paul Kossoff material called "I know
    why the Sun don't shine" by what I think was called the Rumbledown Band.
    It featured Frankie Miller singing, Andy Fraser on bass and Paul Kossoff
    on guitar (both ex-Free). It was probably recorded c1971, but never
    previously released.
    I might have some more info if you are interested.

    Richard.

    	Richard,
    	This is exactly the stuff I am interested in.
    	Can I get a copy of it.
    	As a matter of interset, the album Standing On The Edge released
    	about 1982 was co written by Andy Fraser. More recently Simon
    	Kirke (ex Free) was playing with Miller.
739.3more on its way!SUBURB::PULLANRUpRising at the CastleFri Sep 14 1990 14:577
    I'm very interested in material that features ex-Free personnel, so if
    you have any more info on such matters, please post it here (or in the
    Free note 699 if not directly related to Frankie Miller).
    I'll dig up some more info as requested (won't be much though).
    
    Cheers,
    	Richard.

So, it seems that I'm the only person in the world who'll admit to owning a 
Frankie Miller album? And I've got two:!

FULL HOUSE was released on 1977, and it includes Andy Fraser's Be Good to 
Yourself (the reason I bought it), Jealous Guy, Love Letters (!) and Miller's 
own wonderful Down the Honkytonk. I think it was a bit a too much of this 
which got to him as it's an altogether superior album to

FALLING IN LOVE (1979), which is full of the sort of stuff you'd expect on an 
LP of that name, even though it includes songs by Marley and Hiatt. It seems 
to have been made with guests for each track, whereas Full House was made by a 
band: Ray Minhinnet, Jim Hall, Chrissie Stewart, Graham Deakin and Miller 
himself.

Long time no hear, and I'm not really surprised . . .

739.5my car got reposesed this morningKERNEL::BARTHURThu Sep 27 1990 18:4112
    
    	Hi Graham,
    	Do yourself a favour and get a copy of Dancing In The Rain.
    	Its excellent, Brian Robertson ex Thin Lizzy and still with
    	Chrissie Stewart.
    	A song called Shaky Ground by the Temptations is great.
    	The next album is expected to be even better. Produced by the
    	same team that do ZZ Top. Indeed Warner Bros., have just signed
    	him up recently.
    	P.S. I'll admit to having most of his albums
