Excellent @dr wu . Illinois Speed Press is news to me, and very cool. I can say from the videos posted they do sound like hard rock meets country blues. It’s strange how the record labels either “made” or “broke“ the bands back in the day. I am going to see if I can find both albums.

The history of Illinois Speed Press is on Wiki. Sadly, both Paul Cotton & Kal David have passed.

Glad you found them interesting.....I would give up my Poco and Eagles lps long before my 2 Illinois Speed Press ones. Their songs and playing are simply fantastic and I don't understand why a mediocre band like the Eagles were bigger. I do like some Eagles tracks but those 2 ISP albums are better as a whole than any lp by Eagles imho.
I'm not surprised Cotton ended up in Poco but they never had that dynamic sound that ISP had.
