Juicy Lucy were a band from Great Britain who sounded more like a southern rock band than an English band. Heavy on the slide guitar with a little sax thrown in, they made three albums for Atco Records in the early 1970's. Their second and third albums, "Lie Back & Enjoy It" and "Get A Whiff A This" are combined together as a two-on-one CD and feature guitarist Mick Moody who later went on to form Whitesnake with David Coverdale.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - All-Music Guide - on "Juicy Lucy/Lie Back And Enjoy It" (1995, CD, BGO 279): "Beat Goes On combined Juicy Lucy's first two albums - Juicy Lucy and Lie Back And Enjoy It - on one CD in 1995. Since the band didn't have much sustained momentum in their career, this is essentially a best-of collection. All their best moments arrive on the debut, particularly their heavy cover of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love." The horribly named Lie Back And Enjoy It follows the same pattern as the debut, as the group churns out heavy blooze-boogie, but without as much conviction. For hardcore fans, this doesn't really matter - it's just nice to get these two albums on one disc - but for anyone who's not a devotee of late '60s/early '70s hard rock and heavy blues, this isn't going to change their mind."

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - All-Music Guide - on "Lie Back And Enjoy It/Get A Whiff Of This One" (1997, CD, One Way 34434): "One Way combined Juicy Lucy's second and third albums - Lie Back And Enjoy It and Get A Whiff of This One - on one CD in 1997. Both albums have terrible titles (some could argue that the latter is even revolting) and both are musically similar, containing standard-issue heavy blooze-rock. By the time the band recorded Get A Whiff, several original members had departed, and their sound had become turgid and predictable, with none of the forward momentum that propelled their first album to popularity. However, hardcore fans will still like this disc, since it combines two albums that have long been out of print on one compact disc."

Happened to stumble on your Juicy Lucy references. Did you know that one the co-founders of the group has lived in Portland since 1985?

Nope, I had no idea. Nice to meet you though! What are you up to these days? From your "saxman" handle I gather you're still playing.

I am actually a limey, here since 85-and knew Frank and the band pretty well. My first US tour was with The Bluesbreakers and we had a 2 week stint in New York in January of 68 (brrr.freezing ass cold). We spent a lot of time at Frank's pad down on Charles St. and I spent a lot of time with the girl who was the original Suzy Creamcheese. I had forgotten all about her til now. She had a Jewish last name that-Bingo-memory banks just cut in- Pam Zarubica? I can't recall any reasons for selecting WTP for JL other than we liked the song and it fit in with our sleazy persona.
