THE DIRTY BLUES BAND
ROD 'Ginger-man' PIAZZA, GLENN ROSS CAMPBELL, ROBERT SANDELL,
PAT MALONE, LES MORRISON, JOHN MILLIKEN
The Dirty Blues Band was a white blues outfit best known as the stamping grounds, for a time, for Rod Piazza and Glenn Ross Campbell.
The group was spawned in Riverside, CA, from a convergence of members of a handful of notable local outfits -- their rhythm section,
John Millikan (drums) and Les Morrison (bass), were high school classmates who'd previously played in the L-J's,
whence also came keyboard player Pat Moloney. The L-J's had started out playing jazz in 1964, but by the end of 1965
had evolved into the Mystics, a much more blues-focused outfit, whose ranks included Bob Sandell on rhythm guitar
and Rod Piazza on lead vocals and harp. Their main influences were such British Invasion bands as Them
(whose "Mystic Eyes" had provided their name), the Animals, the Yardbirds, and the Rolling Stones --
although nominally a blues band, their sound was really more an amalgam of blues and R&B as done by those groups
That all changed when Piazza and a couple of his bandmates went to a performance by the Byrds at The Trip in Los Angeles,
where the opening act was the still mostly unknown Paul Butterfield Blues Band. What they saw and heard that
night convinced the Mystics, especially Piazza, that they had to switch over to playing a purer form of blues.
They ceased being the Mystics, taking on the name House of DBS (meaning Dirty Blues Sound) in 1966

RECORD NEAR EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Comprised of covers of blues standards and a few Piazza originals in the same mold,
it's similar to the early Butterfield records, but less distinguished. Actually, the most attractive elements
of the recording are supplied by organist Pat Malone, who plays nice vibrant fills...(AllMusic)
