  Nitzinger is the band named after Texan guitarist John Nitzinger, whose long career has 

yielded sporadic releases and on-stage appearances for over three decades, starting 

in the late '60s. Hailing from the city of Fort Worth, John Nitzinger was, by his own account, 

a precocious songwriter and musician and was involved in several bands and nondescript 

single releases in the mid- to late '60s. But it wasn't until the next decade that the Nitzinger 

name began gaining recognition -- first as a sometime songwriter for fellow Texans Bloodrock, 

and then, after recruiting bassist Curly Benton and drummer Linda Waring, to create 

a power trio named after himself. This lineup recorded an eclectic eponymous debut 

album (part bluesy boogie rock, part esoteric post-psych) for Capitol in 1971 and briefly 

broke into the American charts' Top 200 with a spunky Southern rock 

single called "Louisiana Cock Fight." ...(AllMusic)

Nitzinger's self-titled debut album from 1971 was in fact the work of a budding Texan guitar cult legend

 -- the one and only John Nitzinger -- and his namesake power trio, whose music consisted of eclectic 

but still blues-drenched Southern hard rock and post-psych. The results include ZZ Top-style boogie 

and blues-rock ("Boogie Queen"), pre-Ted Nugent Gonzo guitar heroisms ("Witness to the Truth"), 

both of these at once ("Tickelick"), or neither, when it comes to the anthemic Southern rock of 

"My Last Goodbye," and semi-hit single "Louisiana Cock Fight." In addition, several cuts 

("No Sun," "The Nature of Your Taste," etc.) see the trio augmented by soulful backup singers 

for a Mad Dogs & Englishmen sort of vibe, while others still see the versatile trio flirting 

with country-rock ("L.A. Texas Boy ") and plaintive balladry (the piano-enhanced "Enigma"). ...(AllMusic)
