Is it Boz from King Crimson/Bad Co?

Not sure about the Alvin Lee or Jon Lord bits.

You are correct.

I remember this question from an old issue of Hittin' The Note:

What's the only album that featured both Duane Allman and Chuck Leavell?

Just a guess, but I'll say Cowboy's 5'll Getcha 10.

Interesting! I wasn't aware that Chuck was on that album.

This band was formed from members of Lowell George's pre-Little Feat band (one of whom later became a founding member of Little Feat) and a member of the Mothers of Invention. They are best known for having a song in a very popular 1969 movie; the song references a movie actor (who was not in that particular movie).

Name that band!

That's correct! And a very complete answer as well!

Side note: They were the opening act for the first concert I attended. Canned Heat and Iron Butterfly also played. I didn't realize until much later who was in the band (FoM) and their respective histories/future roles.

The founder of this band was born in 1944 in what is now the town of Sovetsk, Russia. His first name as a child was Joachim. His father was killed in action on the Russian Front in 1943. In winter 1945 as the Soviet Army advanced his mother fled with him. Their train got stuck so they spent four years in the Soviet occupied zone - in 1949 they escaped to Hanover, Germany - events which he later recounted in a song recorded by this band.

I can only think of one band when it comes to Germany and that is the Scorpions.

Nope not the scorpions.

Another couple of clues: This artist and his mother left Germany in 1958.

Now, it might take a rerun or two, but If you put aside distractions, concentrate and listen very closely to the soundtrack of Easy Rider, you might be surprised to discover that it contains music by this band. Their music in the film was obvious to me, but then again I was a big fan of this group, so it jumped right out at me. Worth watching again, to see if you can unearth their contribution to the film.

a shoutout to Tandan, probably the #1 fan of this artist. If he was here he would have nailed this one right off.

Correct. Glad you guessed, I was coming up with some really ridiculous clues.

John Kay was born Joachim Fritz Krauledat in Eastern Prussia.

Coming on the scene during the popularity of Blood Sweat & Tears and Chicago, this horn driven band from the late 60s, early 70s was fronted by a female vocalist.

Yes you are correct, but I actually had another one in mind. It was a 10 piece band. The wording of my question was not specific enough. Technically you have a win. Any more guesses?

This guitarist was from Aberdeen, Mississippi. A cousin and mentor to BB King, his slide guitar playing became the inspiration for BB's hummingbird vibrato. His songs were covered by Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. He was rediscovered by guitarist John Fahey during the 1960s Folk/Blues revival. Years after his death, Derek Trucks purchased his old National Steel guitar. There is a photo of Derek playing this guitar inside the booklet for his Joyful Noise CD. Name the artist.

I'm guessing Bukka White, because I vaguely remember something about Derek having his guitar.

This band was formed in the Chicago area in the mid-60's. Their sound was built around guitar, horns, and vocals. They recorded on a regional label, then signed with Warner Brothers. Shortly afterward, they had a huge hit single (#2 Billboard).

Although not featured in the documentary, they toured on the Festival Express in Canada.

They were on hiatus from 1973-1990, during which time the co-founder formed another platinum-selling group, and wrote/co-wrote major selling hits for other artists, including .38 Special.

The group has remained loyal to the Chicago area, participating in many local activities over the years.
