‘‘

FEVER TREE guitarist, Michael Knust, related in an interview that Hendrix' manager or roadie (he didn't identify himself) approached Knust to do a "trade" for guitar secrets. If Knust would give Hendrix his secret of achieving his longest-sustained-fuzz-feedback in Rock, Hendrix would tell him how he "hot-wired" his guitar to get his signature sound. Knust refused knowing Hendrix would never really give up his secrets.

Guitarists' individual secret sounds were a unique combination/pairings of guitars (often rewired) & special new amps; bizarre tunings and experimental fuzz boxes etc. Attempts at stealing those secrets from each other was as rampant as corporate espionage!






Fever Tree is a former American psychedelic rock band of the 1960s, chiefly known for their anthemic 1968 hit, "San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)".The group hailed from Houston, Texas and began in 1966 as a folk rock outfit called The Bostwick Vines. They changed their name to Fever Tree a year later after the addition of keyboard player Rob Landes.

The band briefly entered the public consciousness when their song "San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)" reached No. 91 in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June 1968. Like most of the band's material, it was written by the couple of Scott and Vivian Holtzman, who also were their producers. This four-minute track captured all the band's trademarks: Dennis Keller's incantation-like vocals, the quick shifting between slow parts with an almost sacral feeling and faster, more rock-oriented parts, and especially the searing guitar work by Michael Knust.



Fever Tree also released their self-titled debut album, Fever Tree, in 1968, which charted at No. 156 on the Billboard 200 Chart.] A second album, Another Time, Another Place, followed in 1969 and peaked at No. 83 with a third album Creation, charting at No. 97 on the Billboard 200 Chart in 1970. Apart from "San Francisco Girls", they never had another hit, although they later also tried writing songs themselves when they had dropped the Holtzmans as producers. The group disbanded in 1970, but reformed in 1978 with only guitarist Michael Knust remaining from the original line-up. The new formation of the group had little commercial success; Fever Tree was not heard of again until 2003 when Michael Knust died.

(Michael Knust was credited as merely Michael (a surprise to him on seeing the first album release!), because it was cool to have one name; still is I guess, Bono! -lk)



Fever Tree's first two albums (Fever Tree and Another Time, Another Place) were re-released as a single CD on October 31, 2006. Fever Tree's third and fourth albums (Creation and For Sale) are also available as a single CD.

Their recording of "Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won't Do)" by Steve Cropper, Eddie Floyd, and Wilson Pickett was sampled as the primary riff in Madvillain's "America's Most Blunted" from their 2004 self-titled debut.
