The J. Geils Band-The J. Geils Band (1970)

The J. Geils Band's debut album is one of the finest rock and roll offerings of the early seventies. Built on rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and the most energetic street rock, this band, led by singer Peter Wolf and guitarist J. Geils, embarked on a fruitful career, becoming one of the cult bands of American rock. Formed in the late sixties in Worcester, Massachusetts, they were originally called The J. Geils Blues Band, a name they shortened when they stopped performing only blues covers and began focusing on other styles with their own compositions. In 1970, the American group released their first album, which also featured harmonica player Magic Dick, organist Seth Justman, bassist Danny Klein, and bassist Stephen Jo Bladd. However, this debut still alternates between covers of classics by artists like John Lee Hooker, Smokey Robinson, and Otis Rush and original songs. J. Geils' guitar, Wolf's powerful voice, and Justman's excellent piano playing stand out in the R&B and rock and roll style on tracks like "Cruisin' For A Love", "Hard Drivin' Man", "Wait", and "First I Look At The Purse", making this debut a rock music classic.

J.Geils Band-Live Full House (1972)

This led Peter Wolf on vocals and guitar J.Geils band was a real steamroller of rock'n'roll, soul and a lot of rhythm & blues. The truth is that to begin to taste this excellent band material, I can not think of anything else to start this direct published in the year 72. Previously, they had already released two albums that seem formidable me as essential and this recording was not more than the culmination of a perfect trilogy.
But what we were, which is nothing but this live recording at the Cinderella Ballroom in Detroit on April 72, consisting of only 8 songs, but enough to get into orbit from the first second. It is true that the recording can cross a somewhat shorter in duration, when at that time the band offered their fans directly twice typical fall of ass. But, what the hell !, this work sounds like a runaway locomotive without brakes. All exercise of power, passion and joined the unlimited talent musicians energy off his hat. There is little of their own as they only include tremebundo "Hard driving man", but versions that are marked "First I look at the purse" Smokey Robinson, "Homework" Otis Rush or immeasurable "Serves you right to suffer "by John Lee Hooker, to give some examples, are powerful tools to put this live on an altar reasons. And to show a button relative to the strength and intensity that emanated from these guys live with "Looking for a love" ... overwhelming!
