JOSEFUS
DOUG TULL, PETE BAILEY, RAY TURNER, DAVE MITCHELL
Josefus was one of the first American bands to bridge late-'60s hard rock with early-'70s heavy metal. Their two albums, both released in 1970, were extremely influenced by early Led Zeppelin, and to a lesser degree other heavy British and American rock groups from the end of the '60s. Blues-rock formed much of the base; Pete Bailey's high tortured vocals owed much to the Robert Plant school, and the songs were built around crunching riffs. If Josefus was a pioneer, it was in the sense that the band was one of the first models for the blunt sound of Texas hard rock and heavy metal, to be expounded upon with much greater success by the likes of ZZ Top.

Dead Man album originally appeared on the local Hookah label.
With Pete Bailey's banshee wailings and Dave Mitchell's fuzz guitar, this was a band that perfectly nailed the sound and the time. Fans of psychedelic retro should check this one out...(AllMusic)price rating
