Catfish - Get Down 1970

Catfish were a blues/rock outfit that consisted of Bob “Catfish” Hodge (guitar-keyboards-vocals), Dallas Hodge (guitar), Dennis Cranner (bass), Harry Phillips (keyboards), Jimmy Demers (drums), John Hill (piano)and Johnny Badanjek (drums).

The band Catfish was fronted by singer/guitarist Bob Hodge whose gutsy vocals and unique delivery sometimes made you feel like you were sitting on the back porch of a bayou cabin listening to blues the way they should be sung, then the band would cut loose with some of the best get on yer feet rock n’ roll ever created!

The whole work is great listening [that in itself unusual for it's time!] but the tracks that stand out to me are “Tradition”, one of the best solid rocking songs I’ve ever heard, and “300 Pound Fat Mama”, a hilarious blues romp that showcases just how far this band can Get Down!
