The owner of one of the finest blues voices of the era, Frankie's shadowloomed long and hard across a multitude of styles, with enough true grit and authority to carve out a top tier reputation. Compared inthe same exalted breath as Rod Stewart, Paul Rodgers, Terry Reid and Joe Cocker, Frankie quickly established a reputation second tonone. Originating from Glasgow, Frankie's first brush with fame came via Jude, a supergroup, including guitarist Robin Trower, whichinexplicably failed to connect with the public. It was, however, enough of a career boost to secure him a solo recording contract withChrysalis records and the release in 1973 of this, his debut album, 'Once In A Blue Moon'. The record was lauded by critics andsupporters, yet inexplicably failed to sell at the time. As a mixture of hardnosed blues and gritty R&B it established Miller as a real forcein British rock, with most supporters predicting a bright future. The album was record at the famed Rockfield studio in Wales, backed bypub rock stalwarts the Brinsley Schwarz group and produced by their manager Dave Robinson, a man who would later go on to formStiff Records. With tight arrangements and gritty instrumental support, the album focussed on an earthy blues rock, allowing Miller'svoice to take centre stage. It also highlighted his compositional skills, setting up a reputation for writing material that would find manyvaried and successful outlets over the years
