Main name with Bacon Fat was Rod Piazza, an ace harp player and singer, went on to bigger things with The Mighty Flyers 1980 to date.
Loving the simplicity of 70's blues, with no overdubs or crap harmonies, just the energy & sound of a live performance.
Enjoyed all 12 retro tracks, highlights for me were Betty, Blues Feeling, Transatlantic Blues & Hurrikane.
Will be checking more of Piazza's catalogue.
