CACTUS
"Cactology"
By Julio

Jim McCarty : Lead Guitar 
Rusty Day : Vocals 
Tim Bogert : Bass Guitar
Carmine Appice : Drums

Cactus fue una excelente banda de "Blues Pesado", emparentada de cerca, en cuanto a su sonido, con las bandas britanicas, que en la epoca estaban en la cumbre de la popularidad y creatividad, ( Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Purple. Humble Pie ) y también con otra gran banda americana de aquellos años, Grand Funk Railroad.

Tim Bogert y Carmine Appice provenian del afamado grupo Vanila Fudge, Rusty Day de The Amboy Dukes y McCarty de Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels

CACTOLOGY es un paseo musical por sus tres primeros discos (Cactus-One Way... Or Another, y Restrictions). Este disco es una buena eleccion para tener una de las bandas fundamentales del "HEAVY ?" norteamericano y que fue uno de los pilares de lo que mas tarde serian Aerosmith, Kiss, Blue Oyster Cult ... Etc.

Cactus - One Way ... Or Another (1971 US)

Sorry people

A.M

Cactus was initially conceived in late 1969 as a supergroup of the Vanilla Fudge rhythm section of bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice with guitarist Jeff Beck and singer Rod Stewart. However, Beck had an automobile accident and Stewart joined Ron Wood in the Faces.

So Appice and Bogert brought in blues guitarist Jim McCarty from Mitch Ryder's Detroit Wheels and The Buddy Miles Express, and singer Rusty Day (born Russell Edward Davidson) from the Amboy Dukes.

This line-up managed three albums (Cactus, One Way... Or Another and Restrictions) before interband troubles led to McCarty quitting at the end of 1971. Shortly afterwards Rusty Day was fired from the group. The fourth and last Cactus album ('Ot 'N' Sweaty) featured original rhythm section Bogert and Appice joined by Werner Fritzschings on guitar, Duane Hitchings on keyboards and Peter French (ex-Leaf Hound) on vocals.
