Stillwater

Cameron Crowe’s 2000 film, Almost Famous, still left some wondering if Stillwater was a genuine music group or not. The reply is yes, however the music group highlighted in the film was completely imaginary and predicated on many groupings that Crowe protected for Rolling Rock through the early ’70s (specifically the Eagles and Led Zeppelin, amongst others). The “true” Stillwater was an obscure multi-membered Southern rock-band that highlighted the triple electric guitar group of Mike Causey (electric guitar), Bobby Golden (electric guitar, vocals), and Rob Walker (electric guitar), plus Jimmy Hall (vocals, percussion), Allison Scarborough (bass, vocals), Bob Spearman (keyboards, vocals), and Sebie Lacey (drums). Originally produced in Georgia during 1973, Stillwater released a set of albums through the past due ’70s — 1977’s self entitled debut and 1979’s I Reserve the proper! — and narrowly skipped scoring a high 40 strike single using the monitor “Brain Bender.” Between your near-hit one and steady starting gigs for the Atlanta Tempo Section as well as the Charlie Daniels Band (the last mentioned which was operating high at that time using the monster crossover strike “The Devil TRANSPIRED to Georgia”), Stillwater appeared to be on the right course for breakthrough achievement. However when their record label, Capricorn Information, strike upon crisis, Stillwater discovered themselves with out a label, and split up quickly thereafter. Many live songs from 1978 had been included on the 1997 Alive Down South multi-artist collection, that was accompanied by a Stillwater reunion the same calendar year. A new record, Running Free, premiered a calendar year later, as well as the group begun to play concert events yet again. Just before capturing started on Crowe’s Nearly Famous, the movie director had to apparent the usage of the name “Stillwater” using the music group, which they decided to after reading the script.
