IF You Like
The BAND
CREAM
You Will Probably
Like These Guys
White Lighting :
Strikes Twice 1968-1969
Hard fuzz trio
featuring the blazing leads of
Zippy Caplan
(ex-Litter).
The band was less garagy
and more pounding
hardrock than the Litter.
"Under the Screaming Double Eagle"
collects studio tracks from 1969.
White Lightning
was a slang term for LSD
at the time
(and bootleg whiskey prior to that).
The group added two new members
and shortened their name to
Lightning.
They continued in the hardrock mode
but now with dual leads.
"Lightning"
is another excellent effort,
just missing the certain magic
they possessed as a power trio.
"White Lightning"
was formed in
Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1968
by ex-"Litter" guitarist
"Zippy" Caplan
and bassist
Woody Woodrich.
The two musicians
had been jamming together
for close to a year
before they decided to
become a group.
The name
"White Lightning"
was picked by
"Zip" Caplan
and
Woody Woodrich
during their drive back
from the
"Litter's"
filming of
"Medium Cool"
because it was
another name for acid.
"White Lightning's"
original drummer,
Garr Johnson,
quit the group after
only a months rehearsals
because he didn't believe
a three-piece act
could make it
in Minneapolis.
Mick Stanhope
was immediately brought in
from Chicago by
Ronn Roberts
to fill the
empty drummer's chair.
