Blues Series#18: Bakerloo-Bakerloo

[joe]

Bakerloo was another product of the British blues boom led by guitarist/keys/harp musician Dave "Clem" Clempson, vocalist/bassist Terry Poole and drummer Keith Baker. Thier s/t debut from 1969 features progressive blues/boogie rock similar to that of Cream.

Dave Clempson went onto Colesseum, a great prog/jazz/blues band. Terry Poole joined the great hard rock band May Blitz and Keith Baker landed in Uriah Heep.

Great stuff Joe. I think Dave Clempson also replaced Peter Frampton in Humble Pie ??
Like the sound here in this cover..

You're right Sox. He also played with Greenslade amongst others.

Greenslade .. Ace band it's worth seeing if Clem is still kicking around he's a tidy musician Joe!!!

This is some really cool sounding heavy rock. Really good bluesy licks and I like the vocals a lot too. The whole sound is awesome actually ....I really like the way the bass line groves a long with the drummer.

Nice post ,Joe. Clem Clempson is awesome on Smokin' but I never knew he was in this band.

Bakerloo was very bluesy at this time, I like this band.

Good to know Bakerloo is a part of Uriah Heep family!
