Bio
The Grey Goose are cool blues merchants. The Grey Goose play some traditional blues tunes. Tunes by artists such as Sonny Boy Williamson, Robert Johnson and Mississippi John Hurt. They also play some BB King and T Bone Walker. But the Grey Goose are a living blues band who pride themselves in finding their own voice. Frankie Williams is continually writing songs some of which make it into the Grey Goose's set. From the haunting slow blues of 'Mudslide' where Frankie recalls the echo's from childhood memories of the Aberfan disaster in his native South Wales to, 'If your happy', a desperate lament for his lost mother.
The Grey Goose get their name from one of Frankie's favourite artists, Huddie Leadbetter or 'Leadbelly'.
About
Guaranteed the Grey Goose will move you one way or another.
The Grey Goose get their name from one of Frankie's favourite artists, Huddie Leadbetter or 'Leadbelly'. 'The ethos of the Leadbelly song, Grey Goose' sums up the band. It's about heaven and hell, good and bad, life and death. That preacher should have been in church that sunday but he choose to go a huntin'. 'One Sunday morning - Lord lord lord, a preacher went a hunting - lord lord lord' starts the song and having bagged his bird the preacher finds he can't eat the thing so he throws it in the hog pen, even the hogs couldn't eat it, 'it broke the hogs teeth out, so they took it to the saw mill, but the saw couldn't cut it'. Finally the bird flies away with a long string of goslings, 'to hell with the Grey Goose' says the preacher.
