FAT MATTRESS

Fat Mattress are primarily known as the just-post-Jimi Hendrix Experience band of Noel Redding, putting out a 

couple of albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Jimi Hendrix connection was probably responsible 

for gaining Fat Mattress much of whatever attention they managed to attract. It might have been a double-edged 

sword, however, as Fat Mattress' music wasn't at all similar to what Redding had played with Hendrix, 

being in far lighter folk-rock, psychedelic, and early prog rock styles, and integrating plenty of vocal harmonies. 

Too, Redding wasn't a dominant figure in the band, though he was an important one; Fat Mattress was a true 

group effort, with fellow members Neil Landon and Jim Leverton writing about as much of their material as Redding did.

Fat Mattress formed in late 1968 shortly before Redding's ultimate departure from Hendrix's band. Redding had been 

frustrated to an extent in the Experience, playing bass although he had more experience as a guitarist, 

and barely being allowed to write anything on their records. Fat Mattress would open up more opportunities 

for him to both play guitar (and sing), and to record more original material. The rest of the band were, 

like Redding, from Folkestone in England. Singer Landon had done a stint in the Ivy League, 

and multi-instrumentalist Leverton had been in the backing band of Engelbert Humperdinck, 

where he met Fat Mattress' drummer, Eric Dillon

 In the manner of many second albums, Fat Mattress' sophomore outing was similar to their debut:

the mood is breezy folk-rock-psychedelia with a dash of early progressive rock, though some 

of the songs on side one in particular have a heavier feel than most of the first album...(AllMusic)
