Climax Blues Band : Lucky For SomeSealed 12" Vinyl Album : Warner Bros. Records 1981 #BSK-3623 Stereo Climax Blues Band (originally known as the Climax Chicago Blues Band) was formed in Stafford, England in 1968. The original members were guitarists Peter Haycock and Derek Holt; keyboardist Arthur Wood; bassist Richard Jones; drummer George Newsome; and vocalist and harmonica player, Colin Cooper. In 1970, the group shortened its name to the Climax Blues Band due to pressure from the American band, Chicago Transit Authority. The band has released at least seventeen albums and had a Top 10 hit in the UK with "Couldn't Get It Right". That song and "I Love You" were American hits as well. Led by Cooper, the former frontman of the R&B group the Hipster Image, the Climax Chicago Blues Band was one of the leading lights of the late 1960s UK blues boom. Prior to the release of 1969's Plays On, Jones left the group, prompting Holt to move to bass. In 1970 they moved to the Harvest label, at the same time shifting towards a more rock oriented sound on A Lot of Bottle. Around the release of 1971's Tightly Knit, Newsome was replaced by John Cuffley; upon Wood's exit in the wake of 1972's Rich Man, they continued on as a quartet. In 1974 the Climax Blues Band issued FM Live, a document of a New York radio concert. 1975's Stamp was their commercial breakthrough, and 1976's Gold Plated fared even better, spurred on by the success of the hit "Couldn't Get It Right". Haycock recorded the instrumental Guitar & Son album for ex-Climax Blues manager Miles Copeland's record label, No Speak, after parting company with the Climax Blues Band in 1984. He was later recruited by Bev Bevan as a member of Electric Light Orchestra Part II when they recorded and toured from 1990 onwards. He also started his film score career at this time by playing the lead on Hans Zimmer's score to Thelma and Louise, as well as performing on the Night Of The Guitars tours which also featured Derek Holt on bass, keys and occasional vocals. After several years of additional film score contributions, Haycock released a soundtrack CD to the Hollister Rally DVD in 2005. The CD entitled Bikers' Dozen featured John Fiddler (of Medicine Head fame). Following that, Haydock's new band, 'Pete Haycock's True Blues (featuring Glen Turner)' enjoyed touring and recording success with their latest live album, released in 2008. Holt's penned "I Love You" was one of the Climax Blues Band's biggest hits. "I Love You" still gets over 20,000 radio hits a year in the U.S. and has recently been included in Kevin Smith's 2008 film Zach and Miri Make a Porno. Holt released five solo albums; I Love You, After The Climax, Sunflowers, Hear and Now, Paradise Lost and Full Circle. "Couldn't Get It Right" was covered by the Fun Lovin' Criminals on their album Mimosa. After a short period of inactivity, Climax Blues Band minus Haycock but featuring guitarist Lester Hunt recorded the album Drastic Steps and went back to touring extensively around UK, Europe and America. Derek Holt and John Cuffley eventually left this line up which soon became established with Colin Cooper, George Glover, Lester Hunt, Neil Simpson and Roy Adams in the early 1990s, releasing the live album Blues from the Attic in 1993 and Big Blues in 2004. Cooper died of cancer, aged 69, in 2008. However, the band continue to the present day.
