Hartley first caught the public eye when he replaced Ringo Starr as drummer
for Rory Storm and The Hurricanes. He later moved to London in 1964, hitting the skins first for
The Artwoods and then for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in April 1967.
Together with Colosseum, the Keef Hartley Band of the late 60s forged jazz and rock music
sympathetically to appeal to the UK progressive music scene

After the subtleties and suppleness of 1970's The Time Is Near..., the Keef Hartley Band's third full-length,
the group returned the following year with Overdog, a set that kicks them into overdrive.
Opening with a dramatic flourish of wah-wah guitar, the anthemic "You Can Choose" instantly wipes
all memories of the intricate design of the preceding album off the board. Big and brash,
"Choose" pounds rock into funk with savage delight. In contrast, "Plain Talkin'" is all grit and glory, strutting
its Stax-y antecedents center-stage, and smugly smirking at their hard-rocking ex-Brit beat
contemporaries, who lost the blues in their rush to rock. Elsewhere, "Overdog" puts paid to prog rock
pretentiousness, as the band slyly slide from haunting wah-wah guitar and spacy effects straight
into funk, and back out again through coursing, driving instrumental sections.
It's a spliced styling that's reiterated to even more dramatic effect on "Theme Song." Keef Hartley's drums
keeps those segments pulsing, but it's "Roundabout" that's his true showcase, as his skins rumble
away under layers of dramatic brass passages and crash around the guitar solos...(AllMusic)
