Rock Bottom - Harmaniac (1993)

As performer and songwriter, Rock served up a masterful main course of blues seasoned with R&B and the flavors of New Orleans. No artificial ingredients were ever used in the making of Rock's very own and very special recipe. Rock has played over 250 dates every year for the last 20 years. Usually this schedule included nearly a hundred shows outside USA. Rock has satisfied the hunger of blues starved fans by giving extraordinary exhibitions of his artistry at the: W.C. Handy Awards (Memphis, Tennessee), Merle Watson Festival (North Carolina), Winnipeg Folk Festival, (Canada), Notodden Blues Festival (Norway), Gloucester Blues Festival (England), Burnley Blues Festival (England), Molde Jazz Festival (Norway), Mettmann Blues Festival (Germany), Lugano Blues to Bop Festival (Switzerland), Djurs Bluesland Festival (Denmark), International Congress of Intellectuals (Wroclaw, Poland), Copenhangen Festival of Fools (Denmark), Belgian Blues Night (Brugge, Belgium), Kalvipuisto Festival (Helsinki, Finland), Tampa Bay Blues Festival (St. Pete, Florida), Florida Folk Festival Festival (White Springs, Florida), Arctic Border Blues Festival (Kirkenes, Norway), and the Key West Blues Festival (Florida).

After many years and many more miles, Rock started his recording career in 1979. Early efforts produced several now extremely collectable vinyl 45's and an album in 1983 which, today, fetches a fancy price amongst collectors. As fans in rapidly growing numbers relish Rock's current offerings, we gladly observe that the promise held forth by his early successes has been fulfilled...in spades. The process of fulfilling the promise has steadily unfolded since 1979 and, as a result, fans have a body of recorded work available today that includes the following gems: 1991 Rock Bottom & Blues Kerosene, Family Place Verrat Records (Switzerland) 1992, Roy Book Binder & the Hillbilly Blues Cats Rounder Records 1993, The Silver King Band, Escape Fromn the Planet of the Bar Managers Danger Zone Records 1993, Harmaniac Danger Zone Records 1994, Diamond Teeth Mary, Walkin' Mary Blues Upright Records 1994, The Silver King Band, Blues, Shuck & Jive Danger Zone Records 1995, Too Many Bad Habits Double Trouble (Belgium) 1996, The Silver King Band, Live at the Dive Danger Zone Records 1997, ToneTricknology Records 1999, Rock Bottom & The Cutaways, Shake Your Boogie Leg New Moon Blues 2000 More and better to come!...
