Foreday Riders Playin’ Up LP 1977 Oz blues

Original pressing on Eureka in gatefold sleeve.

The Foreday Riders were formed in 1967 by a group of school friends who were all interested in the same music. Influenced by English bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and Manfred Mann, the young Foreday Riders were in turn led to seek the influences of their idols.

This introduced them to Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Jimmy Reed, Jimmy Rogers, and many more from the golden age of Chicago blues. The band fairly quickly became a 7 piece outfit, and began playing a wide range of blues, ranging from from Memphis Minnie and Lightning Hopkins to Willie Dixon and Ray Charles.

After numerous line-up changes, the Riders settled into a 5 piece format with the two remaining original members, Ron and Jeff King, as the core of the band. Though there have been more line up changes since then, the size of the band has remained stable, although other musicians have been known to guest with the band for a gig or two.

In late 1969, Jeff King left the Riders to form his own band, Backwater, and then a year later he and his brother formed Blue Spirit. In 1973, the brothers returned to their original name, and the Foreday Riders haven't looked back.
