Foggy Mountain Rockers
".....Early in 1998 Thomas, the sax and bass player left the Foggy Mountain Rockers, so the others knocked on Jummi's door to get him to come back. No persuasion was needed though, because Jummi had felt that itch in his fingers again for quite some time already. He dug up his bass guitar from the basement and appeared for the next practice. The Foggy Mountain Rockers quickly realised that this original lineup was the ideal one. They felt an immense force going through them at that time and tried themselves again on some of their own compositions which they had considered as too daring in earlier times. They rehearsed these and discussed the new sound. They worked old stuff over and tried out new things. They practised a lot and played many gigs, before they decided to go back into the studio. This time, The Foggy Mountain Rockers went to a professional studio in order to achieve the best possible results. With their recordings in their pockets they once again visited Stefan Pfeifer to publish their songs under the labels Castle Records (LP) and King Ed Records (CD). They named their record 'Angel Heart', and it proved to be a success, gaining favorable reviews by the critics and selling many copies. In the summer of '99 the band was invited for a few performances in Spain. Obviously looking forward to this event, the Foggy Mountain Rockers were shocked by the announcement of their guitar player Marco, that he would not be able to join the band because of his job. There was little time to find a suitable replacement. Their search was ended when they found Ingo Goerges, the perfect replacement, who was actually at home in the Rock and Blues scene in Bonn. What musician, especially from a different style of music, manages to learn how to play 40, to him unknown songs, within a matter of seven weeks? (Super Ingo !!!). In spite of a once again chaotic and hilarious but nevertheless downright groovy tour, Lumumba, Sangria and bad sun burns, the shows went great. Back in Germany the band received good news. The long awaited LP/CD 'Hang Him High', which was obtained by Part Records from the Pin up Records' left - behinds, was finally released. But every good news is followed by bad news: Because of an intervertebral disc problem, the guitar player Marco was not going to be able to play for a long time. Since there were several shows coming up, this was about the worst thing that could happen to the band. In addition to this, Marco announced that he was going to have to put his job first in the future and ease up on his musical career. There was only one solution to this problem: Ingo. They all learned in Spain that he was not only an expert on the guitar, but that he was also crazy enough to fit into this band. With this lineup, the Foggy Mountain Rockers performed numerous live gigs and produced the single 'Teddybody Rocker' in cooperation with Part Records in the spring of the year 2000. With this piece of vinyl, which was completed just in time for their show at the 'Wildest Cats In Town' event at the London Tennessee Club, the band wanted to capitalise on the success of their 'Angel Heart' album, because with a sound like that, you're gonna make friends everywhere."
