What a good discovery it has been to find a band which combines raw rock and roll with Texas blues in songs that sometimes could have influences coming from Peg Bundy or Lou Ann Barton! Besides, they are led by singer Fran Drew, a woman gifted with a powerful totally personal voice, rich in nuances, who knows how to put her own stamp in each of the songs she performs I am sure will immediately call listeners’ attention because she is totally different from most of the actual female singers, as she gives a very special feeling to each note.

Peg and his band perform a repertoire where blues and rock go hand in hand, thanks to infectious grooves that immediately drive us to roadhouse bars, juke-joints or dark smoky clubs where friends meet every Saturday night to dance, drink and enjoy all night long with the music of Fran Drew & The Lucky Strikes.

The album includes twelve incendiary songs performed with an electrifying energy by Fran Drew’s immeasurable voice, together with guitar players Gene Donalson and Steve Isherwood, bass player Max “Ce La Vie” Samson, drummer Dennis Cotton and the special collaborations of Sax Gordon and Matt Porter on horns, Rich Badowski on harmonica, Brand Taylor and Richiman on guitar and Jeff Bousfield on keyboards.

An album that will immediately catch you with its energy and overflowing feeling. I am sure you won’t be able to stop dancing as soon as you listen to the opening song.
