Anybody else into Brian Auger's Oblivion Express? The playing on their hit Straight Ahead is terrific. Barry Dean's bass work is superb. I found out he now plays in the U.S. with a band called Downbeat.

Longtime fan! Derek Frank who plays bass on Brian's Baked Potato recordings is a member of talkbass.

I've dug Auger ever since I knew both Robbie McIntosh & Steve Ferrone did their time in the Oblivion Express pre-AWB.

I have a boxed set he was selling on tour a few years back-marvelous stuff!
