Anson Funderburgh
b. 15 November 1954, Dallas, Texas, USA. Funderburgh played blues guitar with local bands and in 1981 recorded with the Fabulous Thunderbirds. He later formed his own band, the Rockets and signed to blues revivalist label Black Top in 1984. Funderburgh's guitar pyrotechnics made the group a favourite at blues festivals, where they often performed with veteran harmonica player Sam Myers (b. 1936, Mississippi, USA). Myers is also featured on MY LOVE IS HERE TO STAY and SINS. In 1990, the group recorded with Snooks Eaglin.
