Cactus - Live, Loud & Proud (2006-07) REPOST

Not a lot of people out there know of, or remember Cactus, those who were around for the band's first two superlative albums were probably too stoned to really remember them. I first discovered them around 2001, courtesy of friend and guitar God Dan Moore (the same righteous dude who turned me on to the awesome music of Rory Gallagher, Trouble, Hawkwind, and Blue Cheer). They are often billed as either the world's first supergroup, or more preposterously as "The American Led Zeppelin." Cactus, at their height, was a boogie-woogie rock n roll outfit heavily steeped in Rhythm and Blues. They had a few minor hits, most notably a rocking version of the blues classic, "Parchman Farm." The band most notably consisted of drummer Carmine Appice and Bass Player Tim Bogert of Vanilla Fudge fame as well as guitarist Jim McCarty(Detroit Wheels) and singer Rusty Day.
Few would predict that the band would re-unite in 2006, with Jimmy Kunes replacing the late Rusty Day on vocals after Day was slain in a botched drug deal in 1982. Fewer still could possibly predict that the band would release a new studio album and a new live DVD in time for their 40th anniversary.
