Drummer Jim Fox worked in a blues group with guitarist Glen Schwartz (who would also later play in Pacific Gas and Electric) during the late 1960’s but you probably know him better as a founding member of the James Gang, which later included Schwartz and a pre-Eagles Joe Walsh. The Gang made their dent in the early ’70’s with songs like “Funk #49” and “Walk Away.” Here, we take a look at Fox’s pre-James Gang days, and his times with Glen Schwartz as well as Fox’s musical influences, the events of the 1960’s and his love of the blues. For the first time, a new CD offers the recordings of the Glenn Schwartz-Fox Blues Crusade, taken from a 1967 recording
