Hollywood Fats, Never Forgotten

"The one and only LP from the Hollywood Fats Band is a must for all Blues lovers. This band had the corner on several different styles and deserve to be known by more than the only the true "Blues Diehards". If you already own this, give a copy to a friend and help keep the memory of this great guitarist alive."

Jump Blues at it's Best

"This a fantastic album from the late great Michael "Hollywood Fats" Mann.



Buddy Guy gave him the HF name and he was a major pioneer of the West coast blues scene. He was also in a later version of Canned Heat and then the Blasters but his key work was with the legendary James Harman Band with Kid Ramos on guitar also.



This double CD set from 1979 captures the pure genius of Fats sound.



Anyone who likes the West coast blues sound should have this. Excellent!"
