Frankie Miller: Frankie Miller's Highlife [Chrysalis, 1974]
Macon meets New Orleans in Glasgow for a lesson in Scots soul, historical division. Allen Toussaint provides the New Orleans, but though his songs ("Brickyard Blues," yeah) certainly stand out, he doesn't hog the stage--Miller's rough warmth and knowledge of literature keep the album in play.
