Green Bullfrog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Green Bullfrog was a one-day studio project made in 1971. Producer Derek Lawrence's idea, it was realized by a stellar group of musicians. For contractual reasons, the musicians were billed under pseudonyms:
- Albert Lee = Pinta
- Matthew Fisher = Sorry
- Ian Paice, of Deep Purple = Speedy
- Tony Ashton = Bevy
- Rod Alexander = Vicar
- Chas Hodges = Sleepy
- Earl Jordan = Jordan
- Big Jim Sullivan = Boss
- Ritchie Blackmore, of Deep Purple = Boots
A few originals (penned by Lawrence) were played, as well as many blues-inflected covers of rock songs. A record of this session was released in 1972. It was distributed by Decca records.
Four tracks recorded by Green Bullfrogs have been published on RITCHIE BLACKMORE - GET AWAY - GROUPS & SESSIONS in 2005.
