STRAIGHT FORM THE HEART IS Mississippi Heat's first studio recording. It was recorded with a tour to Punto Del Este (Uruguay) in mind. That tour actually never took place but the recording stayed! STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART put Mississippi Heat on the Blues map, and helped launch the band both locally, in Canada and in Europe as well.
Heavyweights guests (Sam Lay and Muddy Waters' Bass man Calvin Jones) add to this fiery and soulful album.
The quintet line-up include bandleader Pierre Lacocque on harp, Robert Covington on drums and lead vocals, Billy Flynn and James Wheeler on guitars, and Bob Stroger on bass.
