 Guitarist, singer, songwriter Michael Falzarano has been a working musician for the past 35 years, most notably in Hot Tuna, the famed offspring of The Jefferson Airplane, and in The Memphis Pilgrims, a Memphis-style rock ‘n’ roll/blues band that he founded in 1986. Having recently signed with Blues Planet Records, Falzarano most current release is a solo project entitled The King James Sessions . A re-released version of the song "Last Train Out," which he wrote in memory of The Allman Brothers’ and Gov’t Mule’s well-known bass player Allen Woody, appears as one of the bonus cuts. Blues Planet will also re-release Mecca, a CD that Falzarano and The Memphis Pilgrims originally released in 1996 on Relix Records with guests Jorma Kaukonen, Pete Sears and Harvey Sorgen of Hot Tuna and Danny Lewis of Gov’t Mule. Within six months of its debut on the club circuit, Falzarano’s Memphis Pilgrims were hailed by the press as one of New York’s “best new bands” who were “simply and wonderfully a real rock ‘n’ roll band.” The group’s second available release, Bad As I Wanna Be (King Radio), includes the eponymous song written for the ABC-TV movie version of Dennis Rodman’s controversial autobiography.
