I recently stumbled on the rock n' roll stylings of Scottish singer/songwriter Frankie Miller. After passing through a number of bands in the 60's, Frankie was signed to a solo contract in 1972. He managed to generate some success in the UK, but not much over in the US.
He did have some fans in the States, though. Bob Seger has commented that Frankie was a big influence on him. That is not surprising, as Bob lifted the baseline from this Frankie Miller composition for one of his big hits, Hollywood Nights! released the following year.
