NEW RECORDING ON DELMARK RECORDS. AVAILABLE DIGITALLY SEPTEMBER 12, 2025.

This will be our 7th Delmark recording and our 14th overall. Thanks to everyone involved, and especially to our co-producer, Grammy-Award Winner Michael Freeman whose diligence and genius lifted this project to stellar levels.

HERE ARE SOME PRE-RELEASE ADVANCED QUOTES:

“Excellent work, Pierre! Your unique and thoughtful blues playing uplifts the world. What a significant music project!” CORKY SIEGEL PIANO AND HARMONICA LEGEND, CO-FOUNDER OF THE SIEGEL-SCHWALL BAND, LEADER OF CHAMBER BLUES, & BLUES HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE

“Congrats!!! … smokin’ top to bottom!” PAUL BLAKEMORE AUDIO ENGINEER MULTI-GRAMMY WINNER-AUDIO ENGINEER SOCIETY LIFE MEMBER

“I can only describe this recording with one word: MAGNIFICENT!” WESTSIDE ANDY LINDERMAN RENOWNED BLUES HARMONICA MAESTRO

“Lacocque’s 14 originals illustrate his development as a mature musician, writer, and arranger. … Lacocque’s words paint lyrical pictures. … His songs have matured into vignettes that every listener can relate to. (Pierre) no longer imitates the masters but forges ahead with his unique style and voice. (This recording is) wonderful.”
ART TIPALDI, EDITOR OF BLUES MUSIC MAGAZINE AND AUTHOR OF CHILDREN OF THE BLUES, PROFILES OF 49 BLUES MUSICIANS.

Any master of the arts always looks creatively ahead, never back. Each of Mississippi Heat’s 13 previous records since their 1992 debut album, Straight From The Heart, has shown a growing confidence on every level. There’s confidence in the songwriting, the musical arrangements, the swing, the powerful vocals, and the contributions of every guest musician. That confidence can only grow through decades of studying, playing, touring, and recording.

Lacocque’s 14 originals illustrate his development as a mature musician, writer, and arranger. He no longer imitates the master but instead forges ahead with his unique voice and style.

“From the beginning, my brother Michel urged me to write original songs to distinguish our band from others who tended to do covers. I wrote most of the material on each of our CDs. Here, all the songs are mine.

“These songs are centered around my life, joys, and concerns. You will find lyrics about love, the devastation that drug and alcohol abuse brings on a family (using homelessness as a metaphor for losing everything), the grief of losing my father (who passed away at 94 due to COVID-19 complications), sharing that we are not alone when we are down and out, happier times ahead, etc.”

His songs have matured into vignettes that every listener can relate to. Whether he takes us back in time with the nostalgic “The Sock Hop” or addresses daily stresses with “Champin’ At The Bit” or “Four Steel Walls,” which addresses the devastating effects of drug abuse or the relationship advice on the title cut, Lacocque’s words paint lyrical pictures.

The song with the most fun is “Moonshine Man,” the reed-blowin’ session between Lacocque and Omar Coleman. Like the legendary Harp Attack recording with Wells, Cotton, Branch, and Carey Bell, “Moonshine Man” is a bar-by-bar, head cutting by two giants of the instrument.

His most chilling parable is “Shiverin’ Blues,” the story written for Lacocque’s father, André, who was diagnosed with Covid-19 in 2022 and never recovered. Lacocque accurately describes from his father’s point of view the effects of the disease, and yet he still offers comfort to all victims and families affected by that pandemic.

It’s only fitting that Danielle Nicole, one of the genre’s finest voices, performs the song’s deep blues. As Danielle lets her voice explore the dark emotions of the song, every musician supports her painful cries with a musical response. Lacocque’s harmonica, Giles Corey’s slide guitar, and John Kattke’s B-3 organ all weave instrumental colors that answer Danielle’s dying pleas.

Which brings us to Lacocque’s forte in assembling the finest musicians as part of the process to further the band’s dedication to dig deeper into the core of its blues vision.

Amid the usual Heat members like Corey, Flynn, Kattke, Kenny “Beedy Eyes” Smith (drums), Johnny Iguana (piano), and Brian Quinn (bass), Lacocque also adds a three-man horn section and FOUR unique voices, Inetta Visor, Sheryl Youngblood, Daneshia Hamilton, and Danielle Nicole.

How do 20 world-class singers and musicians fit into 14 songs? “Relying on the unique talents of each musician is the key to a happy band. Not everyone can deliver certain songs I have in mind, while others can. My motto is to build on the talents that surround me. Some musicians have a vintage blues touch, and others have a more modern blues interest. So, I bring guests if I want a certain sound.”

Lacocque stresses that each musician focuses on the message and mood of the song. Harmonica, guitar, keys, horns, drums, and bass complete the story. This ensemble of stars knows their instruments, never playing an indulgent note. On every song, the unit weaves instruments and solos effortlessly, like five basketball players passing and weaving on a court, adding emotional color to the lyrical story each singer expresses.

One constant in every Heat outing is a strong female vocalist. The four singers assembled here bring unique life experiences into the personal interpretations of Lacocque’s storytelling. Here, Lacocque addresses the contributions of each:

“I first met Inetta Visor in the early 2000s. She can deliver a wide range of emotions and sing in all 12 keys, making it easy for me to choose her for original songs. She is an awesome singer. Sheryl Youngblood has a commanding stage presence and holds the crowd in the palm of her hands. She has one of the best voices in Chicago. Daneshia Hamilton has an incredible voice and digs deep to deliver her lyrics. She typically comes on stage unassumingly and leaves it with a standing ovation from fans. She is Chicago’s hidden gem. Finally, Danielle Nicole is an extraordinary singer. I am honored that she accepted to sing two songs on the album, one of which is her gut-wrenching rendition of ‘Shiverin’ Blues.’”

With Pierre Lacocque at the controls and an artistic collective of veteran and rising new artists, Mississippi Heat continues to look ahead as it stretches the boundaries of Chicago blues.

Traditional Blues With A Unique Sound
Led by harmonica master and songwriter Pierre Lacocque, Mississippi Heat is a world-class Chicago Blues Band. Their motto is “Traditional Blues With A Unique Sound” as they present fresh yet vintage-based musical ideas.

MISSISSIPPI HEAT’s name is a reflection of Pierre’s reverence for Mississippi’s blues culture and music. The band’s conviction is that there is no deeper music than Delta-inspired blues to express what lies in everyone’s soul. They have received world-wide critical acclaim, including from Living Blues Magazine: “MISSISSIPPI HEAT delivers its traditional urban blues with a freshness, energy and competence that makes them a treasure on today’s Chicago scene.”

Mississippi Heat is known internationally for their passionate blues delivery. Overseas and national touring have been an integral part of their work for decades. The band has appeared at many world-famous festivals including many in the US (like the Pocono’s and the Chicago Blues Festivals), Scandinavia, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Canada, Tunisia, Finland, Venezuela and in Mexico, among many others.

Buddy Guy has gone on record saying that it’s “been a long time since I heard a good blues band like this.” And recently the band received this critical acclaim from Bonnie Tallman at the Billtown Blues Festival (Hughesville, PA): “Can’t find enough words to express how blown away everyone was with the Mississippi Heat performance! It was spectacular in every way.”

The band has made waves on the blues charts by regularly reaching the #1 spot on Living Blues Magazine’s radio charts.

Pierre Lacocque
Bandleader
On the back of Mississippi Heat’s CD Footprints On The Ceiling, there is a photograph of a man with his eyes closed, playing the harmonica with such passion, that one is almost stunned by the actual silence of that frozen moment. Yet when he is heard live or on record on his harmonica, the listener is caught up by its fervent, inspiring presence. The man behind the harmonica is Pierre Lacocque, Mississippi Heat’s band leader and song writer.

Pierre was born on October 13, 1952 in Israel of Christian-Belgian parenthood. However, shortly after his birth, Pierre’s family moved to Germany and France before going back to Belgium in 1957. By the age of 6, Pierre had already lived in three countries. A preview to his future musical career on the road. Pierre’s childhood in Brussels resonated with the intense and impassioned Scriptural upbringing of his father, a Protestant minister, now living in Chicago, who became a world famous Old Testament scholar. Pierre, his brother Michel (Mississippi Heat’s General Manager) and his sister Elisabeth (who did the artwork design on the Heat’s first three CD’s) went to a Jewish Orthodox School in Brussels. After the Holocaust, Pierre’s parents and paternal grandfather (also a minister) felt that their children and grandchildren should learn about the suffering and plight of the Jews, as well as about Judaism in general and its philosophical and theological depths.

At the Athenee Maimonides (Brussels) they were the only non-Jews ever (and since) to attend. At the Athenee Maimonides they learned old and modern Hebrew, all the religious rites and prayers, as well as studied the rabbinical commentaries on the books of the Old Testament. With the devotion to his studies, there was little time or room for much else. The family culture and priority was on intellectual pursuits, not on play such as soccer or music (two old interests of his). Serious studying, the reading of existential philosophers and theologians, were the only worthwhile activities condoned and encouraged by Pierre’s parents, his father in particular. But thanks to the radio in young Pierre’s room, there was just enough opportunity to unravel the subtle auditory endowments of Destiny. From the radio he heard and was moved by such soulful singers as Ray Charles, Otis Redding, and Aretha Franklin. Pierre was careful to keep the volume down. This is where he began to appreciate African- American music. …

The sound of the harmonica was first introduced to him when he lived in Alsace, France. His father was then a minister in a small village called Neuviller (1955-1957), not far from Albert Schweitzer’s birthplace in Gunsbach. Pierre’s father had bought him a green plastic harmonica toy. He was about three years old at the time. He remembers blowing in and out of it and feeling a surge of sadness that felt so familiar. As he experimented with the toy he often cried listening to its plaintive sounds. It was not until he came to Chicago in 1969, however, that he finally detected his destiny: playing the blues on the harmonica. He had never heard the blues saxophone-like amplified harmonica sound until then. In 1969 Pierre’s father received a full-time Old Testament professorship at the Chicago Theological Seminary, located on the University of Chicago’s campus. The family decided to move permanently to the Windy City and leave Belgium for good. Pierre was sixteen years old.

The golden era of the 1950’s electric Chicago sound was still having a vibrant impact on local bands. Luminaries such as Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, Little Walter, Junior Wells, Elmore James, James Cotton, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Rogers, Jimmy Reed, and so many others, were still dynamic forces to reckon with in the late 1960’s. Unfortunately some had died by the time Pierre arrived in Chicago. Little Walter, Pierre’s mentor and main influence, died in 1968 following a head wound he acquired during a fight. … Otis Spann, Muddy Waters’ long-time band member and perhaps the best blues piano player ever, had also recently died of cancer.

On a Saturday night in the early Fall of 1969, Pierre decided to go to a concert being held at the University of Chicago’s Ida Noyes. He had no exposure to Chicago Blues before then and had no expectations as to what he was about to hear. As he listened to the band playing, he became overwhelmed with emotion and excitement at a sound he never heard before: A saxophone-sounding amplified harmonica! In his own words, “I was absolutely stunned and in awe by the sounds I heard coming from that harmonica player and his amplifier … It sounded like a horn, yet distinct and unique”. The harmonica player went by the name of Big Walter Horton, a name he had never heard before but who changed his life forever. What he heard that night, the music, the mood, the style and sounds, moved his soul.

From that moment on, Blues music, and blues harmonica in particular, became an obsession. Two days later, on a Monday morning, Pierre bought himself his first harmonica (or “harp” as it is called in blues circles). Next, he was buying records, instruction books, anything to do with the blues harp. He was talking to people, picking up new knowledge wherever he could. Obsession led to passion and intense dedication, and Pierre was practicing the harp six, seven hours a day, not paying attention to the clock (although he is known to check the clock now to remind him when he needs to get off the stage, because if it was up to him, he would keep on playing beyond the scheduled sets! His band members tease him about that).

Pierre eventually finished High School (like Paul Butterfield, Pierre graduated from the University of Chicago’s High School, better known as “The Lab School”. The two never met, however, as Butterfield had left the school before 1969). Pierre then left Chicago to go to college in Montreal, Canada. He played harp through his college years, making a few dollars here and there. While at Stanislas College and later, at McGill University, both located in Montreal, Pierre got his first live experience with a local blues group named the ALBERT FAILEY BLUES BAND. About a year later, Pierre joined another band: OVEN. That was in the early 1970’s when he lived for six years in that French-Canadian city (1970-1976). OVEN gigged regularly and eventually won the Montreal Battle of The Bands contest in the summer of 1976. Unfortunately, the promoter who promised the winner $1,000 Canadian dollars and a record contract skipped town and was never seen or heard from again. The news of the win and of the shady promoter did make the Montreal newspapers though…

Not having the ill-fated Canadian blues career anymore, Pierre, 24 at the time, and disillusioned, came back to Chicago. Although playing the blues on the harp could never be more fitting as it was at this point, it couldn’t pay the bills. And it was at this point (1976) that Pierre described his life as going “the intellectual route”. Pierre decided to further his education in Clinical Psychology. It was during this period that Pierre met his Social Worker wife Vickie and began working as a clinician at a Mental Health center in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago. For the next decade, Pierre was involved with his psychological work and research, finishing a doctorate at Northwestern University and publishing professional articles and a book, until a major insight took place in 1988. Pierre, an accomplished 36 years-old man, who had been studying Existentialism, Theology, History of Religions, etc. began to feel a void in his life. He began to re-evaluate his life and look into his own heart. Eventually he heard the answer loud and clear: He missed playing the blues. The awareness struck him like a beautiful horn, coming from an amp, distinct and unique, and yet a sound he had heard before, hidden all these years, but definitely not lost.

And this is where Pierre’s passion revived, his fire and “joie de vivre” rekindled, his ability to take what was lost inside of him all these years and turn it into the raw, powerful heat that it is today.
