Greyhound

One of the most enduring rock bands to come out of London’s East-End. This cockney quartet boasted a very loyal following and they also had a big influence on Iron Maiden who used to go and watch them. This bass heavy soundboard recording was made live at the famous Greyhound in Fulham Palace Road during their heaviest phase. We have added 2 bonus cuts from an earlier gig both of which feature their trademark high energy style courtesy of some ferocious lead guitar and a prominent, swirling Hammond. (Audio Archives) A hidden treasure!

Since hooking up with the Eclecto Groove label in 2008, roots/blues rocking guitarist Mike Zito has been honing his craft, shifting his focus from a hotshot blues six-stringer to a literate songwriter and soulful singer who just happens to be a badass guitarist. On his third release for the imprint, he brings along the talented Anders Osborne (who appeared on his previous disc) as producer/second guitarist/backing vocalist, and together they craft a tough but introspective Southern rock set with strong roots in the swampy sounds that have clearly inspired Zito. Instead of entertaining multiple guests as on his last outing, Zito pares his band to a backing trio featuring Osborne, drummer Brady Blade, and bassist Carl Dufrene, the latter who, like Osborne, has worked with the similarly styled Tab Benoit.
