Original 1971 VINYL first pressing of mean low-down raunchy dirty garage blues show with kickass power fronted by a big mean vocalist aptly named "Catfish" Hodge ... 

The CATFISH & his band STOMP a grizzly brand of electric blues with the nasty conviction being from the Detroit scene in its peak days, Mc5, Stooges, Rationals, SRC, Frost, etc ... this is head-on Blues, no compromise, no bullsh*t. And the guy, Catfish Hodge has a voice and knows how to use it. He surely ate gravel before singing and had a good slug of whisky. "LIVE CATFISH" will ring your bells if nothing else will. Had the chance viewing of this band "in-action" around 1971 (supporting John Sinclair's band, thelegendary "UP") at a big city college. As the band tuned up before starting their first number, a wise-guy college student yelled out loud about Catfish Hodge being "fat" ... You would have had to have been there to have appreciated the way Catfish Hodge stopped in his tracks, turned around and literally stomped  to the front of the stage (boom, boom, boom boom) shaking his fist in anger yelling back in a threatening voice: "you wanna come up here and fu*k with me"? ....The whole auditorium went dead silent. Catfish Hodge was a big man and from the mean streets of Detroit ... one look told you he was bad. ...Incidentally, the band put on a torrid, hard as nails bluesrocking boogie assault. And ya know, that 1971 show was the touring support of this album, CATFISH LIVE !
