Dennis Ross & The Axberg Brothers Band "Dennis Ross And The Axberg Brothers Band" (1980)
An iconic, hard-working roadhouse band from Lubbock, Texas, with a tough mix of rock, blues and twang. The three principal members -- bassist Jim Axberg, drummer John Claude Axberg and singer Dennis Ross -- have worked together for decades, including this album from the late '70s (or early '80s?). The disc is packed with original material -- although John Claude Axberg and Dennis Ross trade off on lead vocals, Ross takes the spotlight here as the primary songwriter, penning eight out of eleven tracks. Jim and John Axberg each contribute one song, with the last one coming from Wright Waldrop, who was not a member of the band. The group was rounded out, though, with lead and slide guitar player Daniel Elzner who is awkwardly given a side credit on the album cover and inner label. It's worth noting that the Axberg brothers had a long history on the Texas rock scene, originally forming in a 'Sixties garage band called The Only Ones, which recorded a few tunes that have been reissued elsewhere.
