| In 1977, the band was back
in the studio working on their next album, “Side Pocket
Shot,” an album that included more originals that helped
to establish the band’s credibility. They took a decidedly
more commercial approach with this one. There was a four piece
horn section—Billy Price’s Rhythm Kings from Pittsburgh.
There were also two female backup singers and organ, pedal steel
guitar and much overdubbing. There were more original songs and
more offbeat covers. It was another solid effort that continued
to build their standing in the blues community. The album was
recorded at Track Recorders in Silver Spring. The studio had
blocked out a good bit of time for work on the album, but the
band worked efficiently and had time to spare. This gave them
some extra studio time and the opportunity to do whatever they
liked. |
