The late-1960s found singer/guitarist Steve Mace, percussionist Kenny Ross, and drummer Paul Welsh playing in the Baltimore-based band The Paupers (not to be confused with the Canadian band of the same name). Following the band's collapse the trio continued their partnership, adding bassist John Nickel and singer/multi-instrumentalist Dennis Tobell to their lineup. Having set their lineup in 1969 the band began performing as Maypole. Playing local dances and teen clubs found the quintet attracting a growing fan base which somehow attracted the attention of producer/songwriter Jerry Ross who promptly signed them to his newly formed MGM-affiliated Colossus label.
Produced by Pat Perticone and completed in less than 20 hours over a three day period, 1971's MAYPOLE album was musically diverse, if somewhat erratic, but had more than it's share of interesting moments. Clocking in at over 50 minutes, the LP offered up an interesting mix of Hendrix-styled hard rock, Yardbirds-styled blues rock with an occasional psych move thrown in. Certainly a reflection of the times, and should appeal to many fans of the old early 70's hardrock style (Truth and Janey, Sorcery, etc) ... Tracks like 'Show Me The Way', 'Henry Stared' and and even the rocker 'Johnny' retained strong melodies with hard rock structures and some nice group harmonies.
