Description
Debut CD from Blues Legend MIKE VERNON and his band THE MIGHTY COMBO aptly entitled 'BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON'
Mike has produced albums for some of the most famous artists in British Rock and Blues history including John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (with Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor); David Bowie; Ten Years After; Savoy Brown; Fleetwood Mac (with Peter Green, Danny Kirwan and Christine McVie); Chicken Shack; Focus; Freddie King; Climax Blues Band; Level 42 and Roachford, and in 2013 was awarded the BASCA Gold Badge Award, in recognition of his unique contribution to music.
Mike is probably best known as the founder of the Blues record label BLUE HORIZON (Peter Green, Rory Gallagher, Paul Kossoff, Christone McVie) – a major 'ground breaker' in its time and still revered to this very day. Maybe not quite so well-known is Mike's 'other' job – that of vocalist. In the 1970s and early 1980s Mike was not only a member of The Olympic Runners but also the baritone singer with Rocky Sharpe & The Replays
'BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON' features tough, energising and tuneful rocking slabs of Rhythm & Blues in the vein of Fats Domino, Wynonie Harris, Little Richard and Louis Jordan et al. Twelve titles in all – 9 new self- penned originals and 3 'covers' from the catalogues of Brook Benton, Mose Allison and Clarence Henry"
