Wet Willie - History

History

Drummer Lewis Ross assembled the musicians for a group called "Fox" in the summer of 1969, which a year later became known as "Wet Willie." Wet Willie was a versatile, high-energy Southern rock band that, from 1971 until 1978, produced an array of albums awash in good-time music, rollicking high-energy blues-rock, and white Southern soul, but racked up just one Top Ten hit and a lot of admirers.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
    —Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    “Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
