Blues Image was formed in Tampa, Florida in 1966 by singer-guitarist Mike Pinera, singer-drummer Manuel "Manny" Bertematti, singer-percussionist Joe Lala, keyboardist Emilio Garcia, and bassist Malcolm Jones. They were later joined by keyboardist Frank "Skip" Konte when Emilio Garcia left the band. The band released their self-titled debut album in February 1969. Pinera left the band to join Iron Butterfly in the fall of 1969, and was replaced by singer Denny Correll and guitarist Kent Henry. On this CD you find two LP’s together on one disc, the debut “Blues Image” and the third album “Red White & Blues.” Unfortunately the band broke up in May 1970, luckily we have the CD.
