Classic Rock, Blues Rock, Country Rock

Juicy Lucy was a British blues rock band officially formed on 1 October 1969. After the demise of The Misunderstood, Juicy Lucy was formed by US-born steel guitarist Glenn Ross Campbell, and prolific Blackburn saxophonist Chris Mercer (born 1947). The group later recruited vocalist Ray Owen, guitarist Neil Hubbard, bassist Keith Ellis, and drummer Pete Dobson (born 1950). The band name was inspired by a character in The Virgin Soldiers (1966) by Leslie Thomas.
The band immediately notched a UK Top 20 hit with their cover version of the Bo Diddley composition "Who Do You Love?". Juicy Lucy released two albums the self-titled 1969 and Lie Back and Enjoy It 1970 on Vertigo. Amid multiple lineup changes, they released the 1971 Get a Whiff a This and the 1972 album Pieces. Juicy Lucy disbanded shortly thereafter. In 1995, Ray Owen resurrected the band's name and released further albums...
