Founding members of "Cactus" and ex-members from "Vanilla Fudge" drummer Carmine Appice(from Brooklyn NY), and bassist Tim Bogert(from Ridgefield NJ)decided to take a break from the "psychedelic Fudge" seen and put together a "Cream"/"Led Zeppelin" oriented but AMERICAN HEAVY ROCK'N ROLL BLUES band.Their dream was to play with Jeff Beck(after hearing Jeff's 2nd album "Beck-Ola" released in June '69)and in '69 Carmine's friend from "Zeppelin" John Bonham said Jeff was interested in the collaboration, but after a car crash in December '69 Jeff would not reunite with the 2 until December '72 to record the 1 and only album "Beck, Bogert & Appice" released in '73.Guitarist Terry Kelly was dropped because of heroin addiction, vocalist Robert Riskin Jr.(son of "King Kong" movie actress "Fay Wray)also dropped becasue of issues.Carmine remembers touring with "Vanilla Fudge" in '69 in either Phoenix Arizona or Tucson, and seeing a drive in movie theater called "CACTUS" which inspired him for a band name after seeing the name up in lights.Carmine, Tim, & lead vocalist/harmonica/DRUMMER LOL Rusty Day(born Garden City Detroit Michigan)from Ted Nugent's "The Amboy Dukes" and guitarist/DRUMMER LOL Jim McCarty(born Detroit Michigan)from "Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels" where Tim meet him in '66@"Whisky a go-go" on Sunset Strip in California.Jim also played on Jimi Hendrix's "Band Of Gypsy" drummer Buddy Miles's albums "Expressway To Your Skull" debut released in '68, "Electric Church" released '69, and "Them Changes" released in '70(All Co-produced/written by Jimi Hendrix).According to Carmine "Vanilla Fudge" played their last gig@the "Action House" owned by their manager Phil Basile in March '70.Tim remembers playing with both "Fudge" and "Cactus" at the same time, and by October-December '69 "Cactus" was born and were in the studio to record their debut album which was rehearsed/recorded@"Break-Out Studio and Ultra-Sonic Recording Studios completed sometime by February '70 and released on July 1, '70 mixed by Les Paul's son Gene Paul.Producer/audio engineer Eddie Kramer(worked with "Led Zeppelin" "Jimi Hendrix" and "Vanilla Fudge")worked with "Cactus" on the 2nd album "One Way...Or Another"(released February 24, '71)."Cactus's" 2nd album and 3rd album("Restrictions")were recorded where Jimi Hendrix often recorded, "Electric Lady Studios"."Restrictions" would be Jim McCarty's last album with "Cactus" and not rejoining until May '06 to record "Cactus V"(released July 18, '06)."Restrictions" would also be Rusty's last album with "Cactus"FOREVER.RANDOM FACT ALERT LOL, I am wearing my "Led Zeppelin" Live@Wembley Empire Pool, London UK November 20, '71 Tee in these videos because Cactus had some help from Zeppelin getting started and were thanked in the album credits of "Cactus's" 1st LP."Cactus" also signed under the same record label as "Led Zeppelin" "Atlantic Records"."Led Zeppelin's" 4th album "IV"(aka "4", "ZOSO", "Four(4)Symbols", "The Hermit", YOU GET THE IDEA)released just weeks after "Cactus's" 3rd album(Led Zeppelin "IV" released November 8, '71)."Evil(is Going On)" written by Willie Dixon, recorded by "Howlin' Wolf" in '54.I played Jim McCarty + Ron Leejack's rhythm/slide/lead guitar parts by ear with my own arrangements as well on my versions of the album.Since there are no Hal Leonard guitar tablature/manuscript books for "Cactus's" music/albums, I had to put myself in Jim and Ron's shoes and think if they had to overdub another guitar, what would be their approach?So I came up with these concepts.After analyzing the very few photos we have of "Cactus" and some research from the credits inside the "Cactology The Cactus Collection" album, looks like Jim was using a late '50's or early '60's Gibson Les Paul Standard in a Marshall(not sure what model or year)cabinet and head(stack)with an Ampeg "Scrambler" fuzz pedal which created "Hendrix" like SCREAMING overtones and a Wah-Wah.I have seen one photo of Jim playing a Gibson Les Paul Special or Jr. with P-90's and a Fender Telecaster(that he owned in the '70's he claimed in an interview I saw)used.I think Jim's Tele was being used by mid/later '71.A picture can be seen on the "Cactus" bootleg live album "Live @ Rochester Ballroom(Auxiliary Studios)New York 1971"(possibly recorded on 3rd album release date 10/18/71).
