Artist History Who's been sleeping in my bed?That's a hot question-because from a hot career, Reilly has assembled his most burning bed yet. In his first release since 1995, Reilly brings together the best of his accomplished past with the brightest of his future...echoing the power of his Blues/Rock past are friends like Taj Mahal, Elvin Bishop, Mike Finnigan, Garth Hudson the Butterfield Blues Band Horns.As well as new sounds, with the likes ofBill Champlin longtime Chicago and Sons of Champlin member and Kid Ramos of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Mike Reilly shares with these heavyweights a musical gumbo that simmers with all the spice and flavor of a Blue's Rock aphrodisiac.Mike Reilly's reputation has grown though the years as a young guitarist/singer/songwriter. He paid his dues with Elvin Bishop, Gregg Allman and the Hudson/Danko Band. Reilly continues to have the luck of the Irish with Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed? having already been heard by a half million people thanks to Tina Turner and her "Wildest Dreams" tour. Several cuts from the then unreleased CD were played nightly, as to tease and taunt her sold out audience. The tracks received a phenomenal response.Teaming up with another old friend to produce, Allan "Blaze" Blazek ( Eagles, The Who, Outlaws)' Reilly picked Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed? from a couple of solid writers, Jack Tempchin and Bobby Whitlock, as well as teaming up with Republic Artist Management venerated rock veteran William Perkins, who has guided such leading lights as the Allman brothers, Gregg Allman and Stevie Ray Vaughan.Reilly surrounds himself with the best, not by luck, but by design-bringing him to his new Home ATLAS RECORDS. Atlas records saw and heard in the Mike Reilly Band, a sound and look where the label wanted to be, rooted in a blues tradition and looking down the road to exciting "new" sounds.The road is where you'll see THE MIKE REILLY BAND this year, perhaps with some of his all-star friends. Reilly will be asking the musical question "Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed?" in a town near you.
