BACON FAT

Grease One For Me

USA - BLUE HORIZON - BH 4807

RARE original... 1970 sought after hot bluesrock burner... harder to find than you might think! On the famously collected 'blue Horizon' label...home label to the British blues-boom giants of the sixties...

Bacon Fat, originally the Southside Blues Band, was a Los Angeles, California blues band noted for a dual-harmonica-driven amid gritty guitar rhythms & shuffling back-beat, Chicago blues sound. Following the breakup of the Dirty Blues Band in 1968, Rod Piazza and George "Harmonica" Smith, whom Piazza credits with putting him "straight on the chromatic harp," formed the Southside Blues Band. The band toured with Big Mama Thornton and, in 1969, released "George Smith Of The Blues" ...Smith's "Juicy Harmonica" from this album is regarded as a chromatic harmonica classic; indeed, Piazza covered "Juicy Harmonica" on "Grease One for Me." Recorded on February 27 and 28, 1969 in Hollywood. British producer Mike Vernon persuaded the band to move to Blue Horizon and to change their name. The band named themselves Bacon Fat. The lineup of the band at this time, in addition to Smith and Piazza, were Buddy Reed, guitar; Gregg Schaefer, guitar; JERRY SMITH, bass; Dick Innes, drums; and J.D. Nicholson, keys. Mike Vernon decided to first record an already-scheduled gig opening for, and backing up Pee Wee Crayton, November 16, 1969, at the "Bar Paradise A Go Go" (widely known as "Small's"), a club at E53rd St and Avalon Blvd in South-Central LA. The following day, November 17, 1969, was spent at the Eldorado Recording Studio in Hollywood, recording tracks for Bacon Fat's first album, "Grease One for Me".

The music is rockin guitar driven boogie & harmonica driven rockers and slow blues - and is a blast from start to finish. BACON FAT was essentially a vehicle for ROD PIAZZA and his superb `chromatic' harmonica playing - loud, live and gutsy!
