THE HOLLYWOOD BLUE FLAMES "ROAD TO RIO" Source: Blues Festival Guide Newsletter Date: 07/2006 Writer:

The Hollywood Blue Flames emerged from the smoldering embers of the Hollywood Fats Band, led by guitarist Michael “Hollywood Fats” Mann, who almost single-handedly ignited a traditional blues revival in the 1970’s. Their new release, now with guitarist Kirk Fletcher, features two previously un-recorded songs co-written by Fats and Blake, collaborations with Junior Watson and Kim Wilson; and a FREE BONUS CD of vintage live performances with Fats, including appearances by Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson and Roy Brown!
