5.0 out of 5 stars The Scotsman rocks on this one!, April 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Full House (Audio CD)

This is the first Frankie Miller album I was able to get, and it is still my favorite. His is a voice that could sand the splinters off your porch railing and still leave you wanting to hear more. Not everyone feels the same way, of course; people tend to either love it or hate it right away upon having their first taste of the soulful Scotsman. The band on "Full House" is tight and expressive, and they provide an excellent counterpoint to showcase Miller's vocal talents. "Be Good to Yourself" is a good, rock-solid opener, and "Jealous Guy" (a cover of the John Lennon song) here sounds more convincingly anguished and heartbroken than any other version I've heard. When Frankie Miller belts out a song about love gone awry, it's enough to make you wonder if he's about to break down in tears or go out and shoot someone (possibly both!). If you're a Miller fan, this is an essential piece of work to have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Under rated performer, February 27, 2006

This review is from: Full House (Audio CD)

This cd save for one weak track is a near masterpiece. Frankie rips up John Lennon's Jealous guy and gives the track backbone and the proper anger. It is hard to put his style of music in a box as it changed from album to album, band to band which in part, in my opinion was the cause of his luke warm reception. This is must have for fan's of R&B/Blues/Blue eyed soul/Rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great British Blues solo album by an underappreciated singer., April 7, 2009

Full House is a tight, varied set of excellent songs by Frankie Miller, who remains a virtual unknown in the United States. I have been looking for this album in MP3 format, as I had worn out my vinyl copy decades ago. Millers' voice recalls elements of Paul Rodgers, Joe Cocker, and Bob Seger.... anyone of whom would have been proud to have recorded such a strong set of songs. The styles on this album vary from fast-paced rock, to Memphis-inspired horn jams, to soulful ballads. The tempos and instrumentation shift perfectly from track to track, resulting in a terrific, flowing blues-rock album. There isn't a dud in the set. Highlights include 'Be Good To Yourself', which sounds a bit like Free, but tighter, and with horns;'Down the Honkeytonk', which would have fit into Seger's 'Night Moves' album without a hitch, and 'Jealous Guy' which brings out the power in his song that John Lennon's original merely hinted at. Oddly enough, despite the English musicians and the Arena-Rock feel of some of the the material, the greatest artistic influence here is the late Otis Redding. Heartily recommended.
