JOHN NITZINGER, BUGS HENDERSON, LINDA WARING, CURLY BENTON  

Nitzinger is the band named after Texan guitarist John Nitzinger, whose long career has 

yielded sporadic releases and on-stage appearances for over three decades, starting 

in the late '60s. Hailing from the city of Fort Worth, John Nitzinger was, by his own account, 

a precocious songwriter and musician and was involved in several bands and nondescript 

single releases in the mid- to late '60s. But it wasn't until the next decade that the Nitzinger 

name began gaining recognition -- first as a sometime songwriter for fellow Texans Bloodrock, 

and then, after recruiting bassist Curly Benton and drummer Linda Waring, to create 

a power trio named after himself. This lineup recorded an eclectic eponymous debut 

album (part bluesy boogie rock, part esoteric post-psych) for Capitol in 1971 and briefly 

broke into the American charts' Top 200 with a spunky Southern rock 

single called "Louisiana Cock Fight." ...(AllMusic)

Aside from jettisoning some increasingly archaic psychedelic tendencies (and welcoming second 

guitarist Bugs Henderson to the fold), Nitzinger's rather arrogantly named sophomore outing, 

One Foot in History, pretty much picked up right where the Texan band's critically lauded first album 

had left off. Which is to say that it too boasted an eclectic batch of songs whose only common 

denominator was orbiting Planet Southern Rock in some capacity, at a time when the genre was 

approaching its summer solstice, thanks to the tenacity of its star-crossed founding fathers, 

the Allman Brothers Band, and their fast-rising heirs apparent, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Among Nitzinger's 

novel stylistic diversions on One Foot in History were the mellifluous saxophone and orchestrated 

string backdrops added to the title track and the imperial, Cream-like "Uncle John"; the full-blown 

jazz breakdown anchoring the Allmans-esque "Motherload"; and, on a negative note, the misplaced, 

easy listening schmaltz of "Driftwood." Yet heavy Southern rockers were also available in droves, 

with clear standouts including the barroom brawler "The Cripple Gnat Bounce" (whatever that means!);

 the driving "Let the Living Grow" (clearly inspired by Humble Pie's barnburning cover of 

"I Don't Need No Doctor"); and the all-time classic "Earth Eater," which contrasted a pummeling 

main riff against an amazing melodic hook, the likes of which seems to have cropped up 

in many an Aerosmith song over the ensuing years...(AllMusic)
