Steamhammer - Junior's Wailing

[@aytekaytekin8282]

One of the top underrated bands of all time.

[@spiritualic]

55 years and still fantastic

[@satanel77]

Rinding on the L&N Hold that train and this one - G R E A T ! ! ! Steamhammer ist eine der ganz großen Bands der 60er / 70er. Leider nicht so bekannt geworden, wie sie's verdient hätten.

[@hans-hermanneschenbach]

genau so ist es, einfach genial diese Gitarrensoli

[@muddiggerism]

Riding on the L&N is a John Mayall song back from 1967 and covered by the Bintangs in 1970, way before Steamhammer

[@rogerc1711]

@@muddiggerism Originally from Lionel Hampton.

[@colinmillar1366]

Had the privilege of seeing Steamhammer on the swathe at Worthing Seafront around about '68. It was the first time the stuffy old Council had agreed to allow live music there - must have shaken them to the core! This was the number they started with, with a bass amp that shook the ground - fab. After all these years, this is still my favourite rock anthem.

[@rolyrupert]

Hi Colin ,I was there too . Outdoor gig at the back of the old house beside the paddling pool Went to school with Steve (Bass) ,great guy . We both played Bass in various bands around the south . A wealth of great music talent around the area at the time .wonderful times .!!

[@colinmillar1366]

@@rolyrupert HI! so it wasn't a dream then!!

[@rogerc1711]

Yes, I was there too. I know Steve Davy; so far as I know he's still around in Worthing, but I haven't seen him in a couple of years now.

My favor psychedelic rock song. I am over there in 60s by this song. Thank you guys!

[@ALotOfBottle]

You rarely ever come across such a well-composed blues song. I am speechless still, after about half a year of listening to this song everyday. Nobody could play the blues like Steamhammer. For more awesomeness of that sort, I would highly recommend checking out Climax Blues Band's "Seventh Son" and listening to it until the end. It is equally good as Junior's Wailing. These two bands definitely deserve more attention.

[@TheCornishCockney]

and British !! Worthing in Sussex of all places. fuck but we rock.

[@costarring8978]

ALotOfBottle Listen to the cover from Status Quo.

[@waverider6kj32]

also The Groundhogs

[@hanspeterraatz4928]

You are right nobody can. i listen to this since 1970 and it blows me away every time.But here it loud,then you get the full power of this song.

[@hanspeterraatz4928]

The second best of STEAMHammer are :RIDING ON THE L&M&HOLD THAT TRAIN

[@martinberty2002]

For years Status Quo used to open with this simple, but brilliant song.

[@MrJylong]

Sofort als Favorit in meiner Schakllplatten Sammlung - Reflection war schon toll --- ABER MKII Absolut kreativ, seiner Zeit voraus, grandios

[@cbarnes25]

Loved the band and actually saw them play at Hull University when I was a student there. Absolutely awesome.

[@arkadyyablokov9158]

№7 "Богатства андеграунда" У истоков самобытной британской команды Steamhammer стояли такие отличные музыканты как Кирэн Уайт (вокал, гармоника и гитара) и Мартин Пью (гитара). Интересно что начинала группа как аккомпанирующий состав Фредди Кинга. И если на дебютном альбоме Reflection (1969) доминировал прямолинейный блюз-рок, то уже на следующих альбомах MK II (1969) и особенно Mauntains (1970), наметился уклон в сторону прогрессивного рока. Выпустив четыре альбома, группа распалась в 1972г...

[@SwissTransAmBandit]

A great band that somehow slipped through the cracks. I do not understand why!!! What an ear full of huney!! Great band.Any one out there that has a notion of what real rock & roll is,and was? Get back to our roots and give it your best,thats all you need!!!

[@classicalmusic1175]

Steamhammer was Freddie King's backing band whenever he toured England. King had good taste.

[@rogerc1711]

Not quite: they backed him on 1 tour, & I saw them at Klooks Kleek, Hampstead, round about 1969. Support act then was Killing Floor, who Freddie King used as his backing band in subsequent UK tours. Mechanically what happened was that Steamhammer played their set, then Kieran White & Martin Pugh went off & FK came on, using just part of Steamhammer (Martin Quittenton, Steve Davy, Mike Rushton) as his backing unit.

[@classicalmusic1175]

@@rogerc1711 I stand corrected. Thanks for the information.

[@rogernevin7461]

They played this at the Newcastle Mayfair in 1969 ! Blew the roof off . Somethings you never forget, 17 then, 71 now

[@steveharrop8705]

Fabulous. Takes me back to gigging in the 60's and 70's

[@andythomas706]

I first saw them at The Marquee and they were hugely impressive. The combination of the two very different guitar players worked well. Martin Quittenton went from here to sessions...notably Rod Stewarts early solo stuff!

[@iangelling]

Not only sessions - he wrote the tunes. Today is the anniversary of his shuffling off and he would have been 75 next week.

[@joinercarp]

I was going to see them in Coventry in the 60;s at the Uni, but they had to call off and never got rebooked for whatever reason

[@charlyW34]

Continues the legacy of the Dave Edmunds Love Sculpture albums in stunning fashion. One of the last great albums of it's type before the UK scene went weird, and the American scene went soft. Wonderful production too. Cheers

[@iantaylor7840]

This was on their first album Steamhammer which I bought when I was about 15 in a record sale. They should have been greater but they came along when Rock and Roll took off again and people stopped listening to Blues. Blues became a niche music which it still is somewhat today sadly.

[@hanspeterraatz4928]

In 1970 this was the first and best song they played at the best club in Duesseldorf called :CREAMCHEASE and the second best was the TULLS :Locomotive Breath and every one went on stage to shake there hair and the disc jockey fired one special girl on with a blond lion hairdo and: "watch SUSI Cream cheese dance "and wenn early morning the lights came on I was the one to take her home,that made STEAMHAMMER!
