Check this band out featuring, Carmine Appice, Tim Bogert, Rusty Day And Jim McCarty, would have had Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart in the band if things had been different. What a great blues sound and some steaming Guitars.

Re: Cactus

Cactus is one of those bands that basically never gets any radio play. Very unfortunate in my opinion.

Re: Cactus

One of my favorite bands! I mentioned them in another thread not too long ago. I've enjoyed their music since first hearing their first album. A fantastic combination of different styles of songs, excellent musicianship and performances as well, imo! When I listen to the s/t album, I tend to get a little carried away, mostly with the volume, as a few of the neighbors will attest to!

Re: Cactus

Terrific band. On vinyl I got their debut album, One Way...Or Another and Restrictions. One Way...Or Another is my fav, Hometown Bust is a gem.
