Originating from Glasgow, Frankie’s first brush with fame came via Jude, a supergroup, including guitarist Robin Trower, which inexplicably failed to record an album, it was, however, enough of a career boost to secure him a solo recording contract with Chrysalis Records and the release in late 1972 / early 1973 of this, his debut album, “Once In A Blue Moon”.
The record was lauded by critics and rock fans. As a mixture of hardnosed blues and gritty R&B it established Miller as a real force in British rock, with most supporters predicting a bright future.
The album was recorded at the famed Rockfield studio in Wales, backed by pub rock stalwarts the Brinsley Schwarz group and produced by their manager Dave Robinson, a man who would later go on to form Stiff Records.
With tight arrangements and gritty instrumental support, the album focussed on an earthy blues rock, allowing Miller’s voice to take contre stage. It also highlighted his compositional skills, setting up a reputation for writing material that would find many varied and successful outlets over the years.
”Once in a Blue Moon” is one of those lovely Seventies rock albums with a pure, unadulterated sound, feeling and atmosphere. ”Once in a Blue Moon” is one of those lovely Seventies rock albums with a pure, unadulterated sound, feeling and atmosphere.
