From Sandston, Virginia, this band evolved out of the Hustlers, whose members included, at various stages, ex-Reactors(*) Steve Hicks and ex-Outlaws Butch Owens alongside core members Velpo Robertson, Gray McCalley and Ben Luck. The latter left to join the Barracudas, of A Plane View LP fame.
Their rare album can best be described as heavy psychedelic blues. There's plenty of good guitar work throughout, Wastin' Time, Just Don't Care, Till We Reach The Sun and Hobo Love Song all have their share, whilst Ellen is a slow bluesy ballad. The album lacks sufficient originality to make it special but if this musical genre is where you're at you shouldn't be disappointed.
MEMBERS:
GRAY McCALLEY(drms, ld vcls)
BUTCH OWENS(organ, piano, moog)
VELPO ROBERTSON(gtrs, vcls)
BIRD SHARP(bs, vcls)



Check 'em out!
