"Hi folks, it's Mikey. Devil Have The Blues is my first BIG, blues studio album undertaking and so far, all without the help from a major label. I've spent nearly five years writing the songs for this record and I put together a great group of musicians comprised of Paul Curley on bass, and Mike Turner (courtesy of the Dennis Jones Band) on drums, plus special guest Grammy award recipient Olivier Scoazec on guitar and Leon Blue on keyboards".- Mikey Capone

I have been a veteran of the blues cruise since 2006 and have sailed 12 times. I would never have believed it unless I experienced it for myself.

Folks, imagine this. A blues festival starting around noon and going until 6am EVERY NIGHT for 7 nights on a fully chartered cruise ship sailing to exotic places! Every passenger on board is either a blues musician or a blues fan. And we are talking Grammy winning performers.

LRBC takes over all the stages and puts live blues everywhere you turn your head. Plus LRBC brings in a massive crane and hauls staging, lights and sound for the rear pool deck for blues under the sun and stars.

The regular cruise ship musicians have the week off and serve cocktails to you instead. The cruise sells out a year in advance so call Leanne or  Tracy             816-753-7979       and tell them you are a friend of Mikey Capone and you will be added to my personal V.I.P. wait list.

The experience will give you memories that will last your life.

Big News! Devil Have The Blues, the anticipated debut pre-release from The Capone Mob, is touted as one of the most important debut albums of this decade.  

The Capone Mob, the vision of blues-rock guitar ace Mikey Capone, worked on the music for five years and recording began in August 2011. A result from those first sessions is "White Lightnin" which was named "Best Blues Song" by Backroads Blues and Mikey earning the title of Backroads Blues' "Best Blues Rock Guitarist" and "Best New Blues Artist."   

"If I could use only one word to describe Mikey Capone as a guitar player it would be WOW! That guy plays the F%$^ out of that guitar. Like a lightning bolt struck him. Not only was his guitar plugged in but he was plugged in. My jaw dropped watching Mikey play and he is about as tasty as you can get." - Steve Rosenberg

Devil Have The Blues includes “Iron Man,” a powerful, personal tribute to the late Michael Burks featuring deft slide work; “Mountain Man,” a cross between Hendrix and Allman Brothers with a sensational slide guitar solo; “Upon The Crossroads,” a masterful piece about the legendary bluesman who sold his soul to the devil, features a riveting slide intro and memorable guitar work; “Deal With The Devil,” a haunting, unique “call and response” chain-gang-style song reminiscent of the 1920’s, “Me And My Cigar,” a catchy, shuffle blues with flirtatious lyrics; “Good Time Blues,” a fun Rockabilly song; and “Garden of Love,” a melodic instrumental with a Hendrix vibe.

“The Capone Mob’s Devil Have The Blues really delivers. Without question, one of the most important debut blues releases of this decade”.- Clayton Hamel, Backroads Blues

Devil Have The Blues is scheduled for release November 2, 2012 and a tour is being planned for 2013.

 "I always get asked what my influences are. The short answer is EVERYONE. The weird thing is I really don't sound like my all time favorites. If pressed, I'd  have to mention Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Taj Mahal, Albert Collins, Albert King, BB King, Buddy Guy, Wes Montgomery, Little Milton, Magic Slim, Johnny Winter, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Danny Johnson and Tom Jones of all people. Love his voice!"
