Climax Blues Band i really liked too..Their first 4 albums were very good...but later on in their career they stopped playing the blues and became a mushy wishy-washy pop group., a real shame.

Another album from that late 60's British Blues Rock era.
Tramp - featuring members of Fleetwood Mac and Dave Kelly with his sister Jo Ann Kelly,,she had a wonderful blues voice.

Jo Ann Kelly - it would be hard to find a more accomplished white female blues singer than her...
Sadly she died of a brain tumour in 1990...i saw Rory Gallagher in a small club in Central London a year before her death and the gig was in aid of her with all proceeds going to her.

This album is on the Savoy Brown thread and called Boogie Brothers and featuring the three guitarists in Kim Simmonds, Miller Anderson and Stan 'the man' Webb and is worth finding and is long overdue for another re-release the last one in the UK was back in 1991!!.

Jo Ann Kelly also played with Tony McPhee and the Groundhogs back in the day.
Tony McPhee another well regarded British blues/rock guitarist who sadly passed away a couple of years ago in 2023 who I greatly respected for his guitar playing.

That very early 70's period there were many British blues bands and prog blues bands kicking around, some of them quite obscure but they never made it, many of them only lasted a couple of years, made just one album and then fizzled out, but still some great one-off albums out there...Glam Rock was beginning to emerge at that time, and that put paid to some of those lesser known blues, blues-rock bands, a shame really, i sure know what i prefer to listen to...Anyway E-Z and dr wu keep the posts coming, all the best.

A lot of the guys that I like and still like in blues/rock & heavy rock from the first half of the 1970s were of a 'higher degree of musicianship' than the average 'pop musician' of the same period because guys like Rory Gallagher, Tony McPhee of the Groundhogs, Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple, Robin Trower, Jan Akkerman & Thijs Van Leer both of the Dutch progressive rock band Focus & Stan Webb of Chicken Shack to name a few could have wiped the floor with anybody around at that time!!.

Yeah I have this Mick Abrahams album on cd for many years plus the two Blodwyn Pig albums on cds as well and the song title Big Queen on the Mick Abrahams album is about the Queen Mary or Queen Elizabeth II liner (ship) and nothing else ha ha..
Blues/rock?. Yeah I always felt that the guitarists who were into it like Rory Gallagher, Alvin Lee of Ten Years After and Tony McPhee of The Groundhogs amongst a number of others from the 1970s were exceptionally excellent guitarists and musicians featuring the highest degree of musicianship!!.
