Dan Treanor is a veteran of the Denver scene, having served as the backbone for a bluesy band called Arc Light. However, his brightest work to date can be found on African Wind, a disc released by Northern Blues, the Canadian imprint that helped the rest of the planet discover local singer-songwriter Otis Taylor.
Collaborating with Treanor is Frankie Lee, a California-based vocalist whose sense of soul has been tested by time: The cousin of funkster Johnny "Guitar" Watson, he was part of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue in the early '60s. The CD finds the duo digging deeply into the roots of their influences with the help of devices such as a khalam, an African variation on the guitar that Treanor made by hand, and traditional instruments like the kalimba (a thumb piano) and the djembe (a hand drum). These tools give an exotic feel to the evocative title cut and "The Groit Man," a track heavy on the hoodoo.
When it comes to the blues, African Wind is a breath of fresh air.
Westford: Dan Treanor and Frankie Lee
Dan Treanor
Born in 1947 and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, Dan Treanor began playing guitar at the age of fifteen. Discovering the Blues and R&B through a local radio station - KAPI - he developed a life long passion for the root of all popular American Music - THE BLUES. When a typical teenager might have been found listening to the latest top 40 AM hit, Dan, a self taught musician who plays by ear, would spend hours listening to the likes of Ray Charles, B.B. King, Jimmy Reed and Slim Harpo, trying to emulate their playing style. He was also heavily influenced by the music of Bob Dylan and Hank Williams. By the age of sixteen, with his Silvertone guitar, he was playing in his first band - "The Steel City Blues Band".

Frankie Lee
Frankie Lee (born Frankie Lee Jones, April 29, 1941) is an American soul blues and electric blues singer and songwriter who released six albums to date. His style has been compared to Otis Redding. The Daily News wrote that Lee's was "one of the most energetic blues voices of any time or place."
Lee was born in Mart, Texas. His early involvement in music began by singing gospel music in church, before signing to Peacock Records in 1963. Billed as Little Frankie Lee, he released three singles which included "Taxi Blues," a regional hit and his best known song. After living with his friend Sonny Rhodes in Austin, Texas, Lee was recruited by Ike Turner to join the touring ensemble backing Ike & Tina Turner. Lee later said of that time, "I'll never forget it. I dug the music and the way they performed. Tina in particular just knocked me out. It was amazing how she would go out and grab an audience – that's what I wanted to do. So I would just sit back and take notes. I learned a lot" Lee then settled in Houston and worked with other musicians including Big Mama Thornton, Ted Taylor, Junior Parker and Joe Hinton.
Lee befriended Albert Collins during this period and, in 1965, they both relocated to California, with Lee singing in Collins' band from that time until 1968. In 1971, Lee was signed to Elka Records and his cousin, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, produced Lee's tracks. In the late 1970s, Lee's own backing ensemble included a young Robert Cray.
His first album, The Ladies and the Babies, was released on HighTone in 1984. Allmusic journalist, Thom Owens, noted, "as one of the first albums on HighTone Records, the album helped set the stage for the numerous records and artists that teetered between soul and blues."
Lee appeared at the Chicago Blues Festival with Sonny Rhodes, before relocating to New Jersey in 1986. He continued to perform live, gaining a growing reputation for the quality and energy of his live performances. Flying Fish released Lee's second album, Sooner or Later (1992), on which he was backed by Doug Newby and the Bluz Blasters, with a guest appearance by Lucky Peterson. Going Back Home (1994) appeared on the Blind Pig label. Lee toured widely playing at American music festivals, in Europe and Japan.
In 2004, Lee performed with Dan Treanor on the album, African Wind.
Lee's album, Standing at the Crossorads, was released in 2006 on Blues Express. The album was produced by Dennis Walker, who had produced The Ladies and the Babies more than twenty years earlier. Lee was nominated for the Bay Area Blues Vocalist of the Year award.
