After putting out the teaser track Sailing On The Ocean Canadian rock band The Mississipi Kings have released their album Long Time Comin'. Following the paths of classic bluesy rock this record explores the fringes of soul, naming Marvin Gaye and The Temptations as their role models.
The Mississipi Kings won't go down in history as musical inventors or revolutionaries, but they are nice addition to the Canadian tradition of solid rockers, like the Guess Who and that scraggly dude beating the hell out of Old Black.
The Mississippi Kings:
Nick Cino: vocals, guitar
Mike Ventimiglia: vocals, guitar
Dave Marini: vocals, bass
Dano Stajduhar: vocals, drums
Ivan Katkic: piano
