the Prime Movers Blues Band in 1966 as the house band at Mothers in the Ann Arbor.
original members are the already-named Iggy (James Osterberg) on drums, Jack Dawson (later with Siegel-Schwall Blues Band) on bass, Dan Erlewine (later guitar builder and iconic repairman/author) on lead guitar, Robert Sheff (in back) on keyboards, who later became “Blue” Gene Tyranny, a classical avant-garde composer, and Michael Erlewine, lead singer / harmonica player.

They were a mash-up of early punk and pub rock, with a little Dave Edmunds/Love Sculpture thrown in. James is married to Richard Thompson’s daughter, Kami, and they have had a folky duo, The Rails. He’s also worked with Ray Davies of the Kinks, The Pogues, and a host of others.
Ironically, I’ll be seeing Richard perform next week, then the next night, Marshall Crenshaw, who has covered RT’s song, “Valerie”.
