Formed on Canvey Island in Essex in the 1970s Dr.
Feelgood remains one of the most popular and exciting live rhythm and
blues acts in the world.
The raw and uncompromising sound and style of
their music resulted in the album
Stupidity which immediately went to the number one position in
the U.K. charts.
Dr. Feelgood have also enjoyed global success with
a string of hit singles including Roxette,
Back in the Night, Milk and Alcohol, Down at the Doctors,
She Does it Right, Going Back Home
and See You Later Alligator -
which gave the group their first gold record.
The last album to feature
Lee Brilleaux -
Down at the Doctors, was recorded
live at the Dr. Feelgood Music Bar on Canvey Island (now the site of the
Oysterfleet Hotel) just two months before he died.
The current line up features the rhythm section
Kevin Morris on drums and
Phil Mitchell on bass both
celebrating 25 years in the band this year,
Steve Walwyn on guitar and
vocalist Robert Kane.
In 2000 EMI records released
Chess Masters, Dr. Feelgood’s
tribute to the Chess Label, home to many of the finest blues artists of
the 20th century and the first album to feature Robert on vocals and
harmonica.
Dr. Feelgood’s recent releases include a DVD
entitled Live in London which features many extras, including footage from
the Lee Brilleaux Memorial 2005
and Repeat Prescription - a
collection of some of the bands most enduring songs but with a fresh
approach.
