BIOGRAPHY
Their style incorporates both Chicago blues and Texas blues.
In 1981, Funderburgh released the Rockets' debut album Talk to You By
Hand from New Orleans, Louisiana based Black Top Records.
The band consisted of Anson, with Darrell Nulisch on vocals and
harmonica. The album included a cover version of Earl King's song, "Come
On". Talk to You By Hand was also the first ever release by the record
label. The band appeared at the 1984 San Francisco Blues Festival.
When Nulisch left the band in 1985, Funderburgh invited the blues
harmonica player Sam Myers from Jackson, Mississippi to fill in the
spot.
He stayed with the band until his death on July 17, 2006, appearing on
eight albums with them. The first Rockets' recording featuring Myers was
"My Love Is Here To Stay" which came out in 1986. Anson Funderburgh and
the Rockets appeared in the 1994 film "China Moon," starring Ed Harris
and Madeleine Stowe. They are shown playing "Tell Me What I Want To
Hear" from the self-titled release.....
