I'm I wrong to remember that the instrumental on Rough & Ready, now called on CD Max's Tune, was originally called on the LP version Raynes Park Blues? Why I...
That period of Jeff Beck's career doesn't get much critical acclaim, but I love "Rough and Ready" as well as the album simply known as "The Jeff Beck Group",...

Dudes- It's his newest stuff- from 'Who Else?' to 'You Had It Coming', to the one simply called 'Jeff' that I'm most knocked out by! Steve Vai went on record a...
Poor Cozy died while in the Peter Green Splinter Group. What a loss. Peter, too, in his way, though he still walks the earth. Those two albums are excellent. I...
Mr. Heath, your memory is spot on re: Raynes Park Blues. What an album! Every song a killer. I love "Jody". That band lineup minus Jeff went on to record two...
Do you maybe mean "Hummingbird"? Their 1st (eponymous) album blew me away when it came out. The other 2 "Diamond Nights" and "We Can't Go on Meeting Like...

I found Hummingbird's 'Diamond Nights' in a dumper bin - it has Max Middleton's own take of (Got my) Led Boots(on) - have A&M got round to issuing them on...

Julian and Scott, I saw Brian Auger and family last night in Bristol - greatest gig of my life!!!!! That is probably because I have been a massive Auger fan...
Lol- yes "hummingbird" not "bluebird". I have yet to see these released on cd. I have them as vinyl- to-disc transfers. I too was unaware that Tench also...
I have the first Hummingbird album on CD. It is a Japanese release. This is one of my all time favorite albums. I worked at a record store when it was first...
Guys, I have been a huge Hummingbird fan since back in the day and often play their version of Led Boots when I am DJing. Bobby Tench is an amazing guitarist...
Thanks for the review. I saw Brian Auger in a church while going to college in Vermont, probably the only religious experience I've had. I also saw him fairly...
The UK Harvest Records had a jazz rock specialist subsiderary Harvest Fusion briefly at the end of the 70's. I picked up two of their releases (the only two?):...
I have a great memory concerning that album when it came out. I was driving home from work and had the car radio on. They played "Ocean Blue" from that album...
