After briefly replacing Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, guitarist/bassist Geoff Krivit formed Doctor K's Blue Band with pianist Richard Kay and singer/harmonica player Mick Hasse, the lineup completed by bassist Harold Vickers, slide guitarist Roger Rolt, and future Steve Hillage drummer Eric Peachey. Their self-titled debut had top-notch renditions of blues classics such as "I Can't Lose," "Key To The Highway," and "Pet Cream Man," as well as spirited originals such as "Strobe Lemming's Lament" and the piano stomp "Crippled Clarence," but the album failed to break through. Grab a copy of this rarity to be blown away!

Named after pianist Rick Kay, this North London band featured Fairport Convention's Ashley Hutchings in its first line-up. By 1967 they were one of the busiest bands on the burgeoning British blues scene, playing up and down the country (as well as on the continent) and sharing stages with underground stars such as Pink Floyd and Tyrannosaurus Rex. Their sole album was taped in the autumn of 1968, and produced by Peter Eden (who'd overseen Donovan's early sessions). A superb set of Chicago-style blues with fine slide guitar and boogie-woogie piano, it makes its long-overdue return to CD here. Includes background notes.
