The phone calls, faxes and entreaties to Chris Fenwick, and to the band's hard working secretary Ann Adley in the Feelgood office on Canvey Island, did not dry up during the year following Lee's death. There was obviously still a core of fans and a network of canny promoters out there, willing the band back on its feet again. When Kevin Morris stumbled across blues singer and harmonica player Pete Gage, the four corners of a Feelgood touring outfit were in place once more. Comparison was inevitable from the moment Dr Feelgood went back on the road in 1995. Inevitable, but irrelevant.
Bands change and mutate.
Surely this can only be praise, many of you will probably say. But my definition of the word 'friend' also means to be honest to the ones I love, any time. Even if it is not easy and maybe will hurt - I think, nothing hurts more as to find out a friend told you a lie on purpose. This brilliant clarity, dynamics and power I never had recognized when listening to the songs at the regular album releases. Sometimes there were details I'd never recognized earlier, like some harmonica licks, percussions and such stuff.
