Nobody´s Business-Nobody´s Business (1978)

Nobody's Business is one of those rare bands that, formed as a supergroup, barely lasted beyond a single, engaging hard rock album, released only in Japan, and a few months of sporadic promotional tours. Formed in 1977, the members boasted impressive resumes, starting with Tony Stevens, bassist for Foghat and former member of Savoy Brown; Bobby Harrison, singer and drummer for the legendary Procol Harum; Joe Jammer, guitarist for the Olympic Runners; and renowned session drummer Jerry Frank. Their only album is an appealing fusion of rock sprinkled with blues and funk. However, it was a style they released when blues rock and proto-rock sounds were somewhat outdated, only experiencing a revival in the early 1990s. This single album, self-titled “Nobody’s Business”, was released in 1978 and contains an attractive repertoire of addictive tracks such as the somber “Losing You” or the menacing “Unsettled Dust”, two perfect examples for AOR fans, while the harder rock side is present in the manifest “Cut In Two” and “Bleed Me Dry” or in the cheerful funk rock “Living Up To Love” and “Doing The Best I Can”, while the title track is a powerful rock song that leaves us with a taste of the most forceful Humble Pie.
