Post Description

The band formed in 1966 with original members Paul Tiller (lead vocals and harmonica), 
Paul Kossoff (lead guitar), brothers Derek Brooks (rhythm guitar) and Stuart Brooks (bass), 
and Terry Sims (drums).lack Cat Bones (named after black cat bones, a Hoodoo charm 
associated with blues music) played regularly on the London pub circuit. Early in the band's 
existence came several personnel changes, with Terry Sims being replaced by drummer 
Frank Perry, who was in turn replaced in early 1968 by drummer Simon Kirke. Paul Tiller 
was later replaced by vocalist Brian Short.
At the suggestion of Mike Vernon (producer), owner of the Blue Horizon blues record label, 
Kossoff, Kirke and Stuart Brooks, backed veteran blues pianist Champion Jack Dupree, on 
his 1968 album When You Feel The Feeling You Was Feeling, and played on his concurrent 
UK tour. However, both Paul Kossoff and Simon Kirke left soon after, replaced by guitarist 
Rod Price and drummer Phil Lenoir. It was this lineup that recorded Barbed Wire Sandwich.
Barbed Wire Sandwich is a psychedelic heavy blues rock album released by Black Cat Bones 
in November 1969. The original vinyl version of the album is now highly sought after by 
collectors of rock and heavy blues music of the late 1960s and 1970s. It is the only studio 
release of the band.
