I have been stalking a band from the 1969 era called "Juicy Lucy" the last couple of weeks. I was lucky enough to get a copy of a greatest hits CD this past weekend and it is pretty damn awesome. They fit well into the UTR theme as they had some hits in the UK but had a international following that lasts until modern times. I think they sound a bit like Crazy Horse due to the use of a lot of steel guitar. They will most likely appear in the UTR Volume II lineup as soon as I can decide on a song. If you have an opinion let me know, as always I am open to suggestions. Below is a link to a great article from 1997 that gives plenty of interesting info on the band. At the end of the article there is a link to the official band website. I am glad to say that the band in some form or another is alive and touring in on the UK pub circuit which would be a great place to see a band like this. Read and Enjoy.

Addendum: (11-22-08) I recently gave a shout out to one of the original founders of Juicy Lucy Chris Mercer who played tenor sax for the band and asked him to visit the site and give us a comment. I am hoping against hope that this happens. I would love to hear a comment from him. Chris, if you are out there make our day. -BP
