Juicy Lucy is the debut album by Anglo-American rock band Juicy Lucy, released in 1969. The music is a curiously heavy form of blues-rock, often played at breakneck speed. The album was a moderate success, reaching number 41 on the U.K. album chart but produced a hit single with their version of the Bo Diddley song "Who Do You Love?".
I guess British blues rock had to come to this - a giant send-up of the scene (intentional or otherwise) from a band with a transatlantic lineup. Not that Juicy Lucy doesn't have merits - it's just hard to take it at face value as they gallop through a furious, often self-effacing take on blues rock.
