While this was going on, Simper would play in an extracurricular band along with Ged and Mac, with singer Ashley Holt. When Hunt became pregnant, the band stopped touring and Simper re-organised the group as Warhorse. Holt became the bands singer, and they would bring keyboardist Rick Wakeman onboard, but proved unreliable, and when the first demo was recorded in April 1970, he was replaced by Frank Wilson.

The Warhorse looks very interesting, one that slipped thru the cracks for me, also
cool on the Zappa @Frands... kudos
np ... RR was great with the Band, but he proved himself to be the Philip Marlow
of early americana and tone poems from the dry western plains to the blue trains
of the deep south. This release caught everyone off guard, with U2, Peter Gabriel,
the Bodeans, Maria McKee and some Band members. This is all about cool
toasty big world rock and roll, cinematic sweeps of epic folk noire and catchy
classic lyrics. The front cover art work says it all.
Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down the crazy river
