The Bakerloo Blues Line was formed in 1968 by Dave "Clem" Clemson and Terry Poole along with Kieth Baker. The group appeared as the support act for Led Zeppelin's debut at the Marquee Club on October 18th, 1968, and it is said that Bakerloo was of a big influence for Hendrix and Cream.
While reviews for this album were favorable, the band itself was in disarray at the end of 1969. By the time the record was released, and by '69, the Clemson/Poole/Baker lineup went their seperate ways. Clemson initially sought to start a blues-rock power trio with Cozy Powell.
This album kicks MAJOR ass! Heavy blues based rock from the U.K. with awesome guitar work and frantic drums. Bill Ward of Black Sabbath was a one time drummer for this outfit. The band also played extensively and toured with Earth, the band that would become Black Sabbath.
