Heads Hands & Feet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heads Hands & Feet were a British country rock band.
The group formed from the ashes of Poet and the One Man Band in 1970, and within a year had released their debut on Capitol Records as a double LP in America and a single disc in Europe (they had recorded an entire album that remained unissued until 1996, see below). The record received highly positive reviews, particularly for guitarist Albert Lee's playing style. Their second album, Tracks, followed the next year, but despite critical acclaim, internal tensions in the band resulted in a breakup in 1973 before the group's third release, Old Soldiers Never Die. In 1996, the unreleased album from 1970 was released as Home from Home.
