Obscure bands

Hello again, Marty - so I did look up Chicken Shack on Wikipedia.  You are thinking of Chris Wood maybe who joined Traffic? OR possibly others (including Webb) who joined Savoy Brown.  The Chicken Shack/Savoy Brown connection I did not know about.

If you aren't already familiar with 'em, check out Cuby and The Blizzards on YouTube.  Dutch blues band from the same era as Chicken Shack and Killing Floor.  A couple of great old vids on YouTube from back before MTV and fashion poisoned things.  Worth noting Eelco Gelling co-founder of C & the B was guitarist in Golden Earring after joining them in '77. 

Speaking of Golden Earring, they were fairly obscure except for of course "Radar Love" and "Twilight Zone".
A lot of people don't realize they have been around longer than the "Rolling Stones"!
Barry Hay and George Kooymans were masterful songwriters. They recorded at least 25 Studio albums and quite a few live albums.
Every album had its own personality.
Thier music was very unique and original and they will always be one of my favorite bands!
 As far as I know they are still together they released an album a year or two ago " Tits & Ass"

I have a massive record collection and decided to look through it for some more bands. The 70’s to 80’s era was the one that I focused on early on because I grew up in that time frame.
