Mickey Thomas may forever be associated with Jefferson Starship, the 1980s-era hitmakers that cranked out such chart-topping guilty pleasures as “Jane” and “We Built This City,” but his musical roots go back much further than that. Thomas began his career singing gospel music, moving on to Southern rock when he hooked up with the Elvin Bishop Band. During his tenure with Bishop, Thomas could apply his talents to a smorgasbord of American music.

Guitarist and producer Tim Tucker put together the Bluesmasters in 2007 with pianist Sean Benjamin. The guys were just having fun, cranking out old blues classics, when somebody had the bright idea to bring in Thomas to sing with the band. By this time, Benjamin had left, but he comes back around to pound the keys on a couple of tunes, and for Thomas, his performances on The Bluesmasters featuring Mickey Thomas are a return to the blues, soul, and R&B music that he grew up with in Georgia, and sang with Bishop nearly 25 years ago.
