Leaf Hound were an English 1960s/1970s hard rock band. The group has been cited as a major influence on the stoner rock movement.
Biography
Leaf Hound formed in 1969 under their original name, Black Cat Bones. Early incarnations of the Black Cat Bones featured guitarist Paul Kossoff and drummer Simon Kirke who both left to form Free. Black Cat Bones issued one album for Decca Records entitled Barbed Wire Sandwich. They replaced their vocalist shortly after releasing the album, adding Peter French to the line-up. Guitarist Rod Price departed soon after to join Foghat and French added his cousin Mick Halls on guitar. Soon afterwards, Black Cat Bones changed their name to Leaf Hound. At this point the band consisted of French on vocals, Halls on guitar, the Brooks brothers, Derek and Stuart, on guitar and bass respecitively, and Keith George-Young on drums.
Growers of Mushroom was recorded in late 1970. The album reportedly took only 11 hours to record. It has become a much-sought-after LP by collectors and was voted the number one most collectible rock album in Q magazine.
This is the only album by the classic Leaf Hound line-up. A few months after recording it, the group disbanded.
