Mississippi Heat is an American, Chicago-based blues band, led by harmonica player Pierre Lacocque. Formed in 1991, they have toured in the United States, Canada, and Europe, with occasional stints in South America, and North Africa. Mississippi Heat has recorded 11 albums: three on their own label (1992-1998), three on European label CrossCut Records (1998-2005) and five with Chicago label Delmark Records since 2005. They also released a live DVD in 2005. ==Birth of Mississippi Heat== 〔Much of the information presented here was drawn from interviews with Pierre Lacocque; from the two-part 2014 French interview with Daniel Léon published in Soul Bag Magazine (No. 216, Oct-Nov-Dec issue; and No. 217, Jan-Feb-Mar, 2015 issue); and from Niles Frantz’s 1998 interview with Lacocque published in The Chicago Blues Guide (revised in 2006): “A conversation With Band Leader Pierre Lacocque”).〕 Mississippi Heat grew out of a 1991 gig at Chicago's Cafe Lura, where guitarist and singer Jon McDonald invited Lacocque to join him onstage. Jon had hired drummer and vocalist Robert Covington (with Sunnyland Slim at the time) and bassist Bob Stroger (also with Sunnyland Slim and with Jimmy Rogers). That night went so well the quartet decided to form Mississippi Heat. Pierre’s brother Michel, who was also in attendance, volunteered to become their manager. Jon McDonald left the band soon after, and was later replaced by Billy Flynn and James Wheeler. Robert “Golden Voice” Covington (a.k.a. Robert Lee Travis) became lead vocalist, and was replaced on drums by the late Bob Carter, and later, by Allen Kirk. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mississippi Heat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
