Description
Josefus was one of the first American bands to bridge late-'60s hard rock with early-'70s heavy metal. Their two albums, both released in 1970, were extremely influenced by early Led Zeppelin, and to a lesser degree other heavy British and American rock groups from the end of the '60s. Blues-rock formed much of the base; Pete Bailey's high tortured vocals owed much to the Robert Plant school, and the songs were built around crunching riffs. But the songs and riffs, mostly in a downbeat foreboding posture, weren't all that good. If Josefus was a pioneer, it was in the sense that the band was one of the first models for the blunt sound of Texas hard rock and heavy metal, to be expounded upon with much greater success by the likes of ZZ Top.
Josefus was a popular concert act throughout Texas in 1970, and recorded a second, self-titled album for Mainstream in Miami that came out later that year. This second album was a little less derivative of Led Zeppelin, and a little more wide-ranging in style, than the debut had been. The band members were disappointed in it, though, and gave their final concert in December of 1970 at a Houston auto show
