Juicy Lucy

Juicy Lucy is a British blues-rock band officially formed on 1 October 1969. After the demise of The Misunderstood, Juicy Lucy was formed by vocalist Ray Owen, steel guitarist Glenn Ross Campbell, and prolific Blackburn saxophonist Chris Mercer. The group later recruited guitarist Neil Hubbard, bassist Keith Ellis, and drummer Pete Dobson. The band name was inspired by a character in The Virgin Soldiers (1966) by Leslie Thomas.

Links To Peel
John Peel managed the band from which Juicy Lucy was formed, The Misunderstood, and, as such, he had a close relationship with them, with their bass player Steve Whiting defining him their "big brother" and "surrogate father". Juicy Lucy featured extensively Glenn Campbell's steel guitar playing, which Peel enjoyed and often spoke positively about. Their bass player Keith Ellis had previously been a member of Van der Graaf Generator, another band Peel was a fan of. As such, he listened to them with interest and booked them for a session shortly after their first eponymous album was released.
