History

After his group Fat Mattress split up in 1970, Redding joined the Los Angeles-based supergroup Road which released a self-titled album before disbanding in 1972. Following this, Redding decided to form an eponymous band, working again with Road drummer Les Sampson. Redding also hired vocalist and keyboardist Dave Clarke and, later, former Thin Lizzy guitarist Eric Bell, who at first expressed doubts about the quality of Redding's written material.[1] The band, like others formed by Redding, was relatively short-lived, releasing two albums in 1975 and 1976 before splitting up the same year. Tracks recorded for a third, unreleased album were later released as The Missing Album [1] on Mouse Records [2]

Redding once suggested in an interview that The Clonakilty Cowboys was the band which gave him "the most pleasure."[2]
