He was with Warrior? I had no idea!
Really liked that band. As if Judas Priest had been 10 years younger and Americans.
"They sounded like Bad Company with an added (prominent) Hammond."
I read that Black Sheep heard that a lot.
Or like Bad Co would have sounded if Paul Rodgers had allowed Jon Lord in after the Purple split in 1976. Ralphs, Kirke and Burrell wanted Lord in, Rodgers vetoed it, concerned that there would be too much Purple baggage attached. It might have sounded a bit like this here (Lord, Burrell, Kirke, Ralphs + Tony Ashton on vocals), Jon was a funky player if you let him.
Boz Burrell on vocals and bass together with Blackmore, Lord and Paice in pre-Bad Company days:
