Known throughout Quebec for a long and famous career in French, Nanette Workman is first and foremost one of the greatest Mississippi artists. Born in Jackson, she started her career in 1964 in "How to succeed in business without really trying ", a Broadway Musical. After 2 years of presentations, she moves to Quebec, where a producer invites her to record an album. Her success is so huge, for instance she sang the French version of Lady Marmelade, that she was invited to record and perform with the Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton, Joe Cocker and members of the Beatles. Last year, Nanette was inducted, among 27 other influential artists, to the exclusive "Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame " along with Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Ike Turner, Robert Johnson and Bo Diddley to name a few. Nanette Workman's success in French music was also due to Starmania, where she held one of the main roles.

Following 2001's "Roots'N'Blues" and 2003's "Vanilla Blues Café", Nanette is now releasing her long awaited third album, a true offbeat blues-rock beauty, finding Nanette covering songs from Dylan to AC/DC with a dose of Willie Dixon thrown in for good measure. Nanette Workman is an authentic artist of the blues and Mississippi Rolling Stone is a hand down winner with wide appeal.

Several well-known musicians collaborated on this album including Steve Hill, Guy Belanger and Donald Meunier. They add power and originality to this collection of classic and contemporary blues and rock hits. Also featured on the album is the extraordinary blues and rock band that has been working with Nanette for several years now. They are Jimmy "King" James, Steve Segal, Brian Smith, Bob Stagg and Sébastien Langlois.

Also accompanying Nanette on the album and live on stage at the launch are the unique voices of Marie-Eve, Karine and Caroline Riverin, Nancy Fortin and Chrystel Demers.
