THE MAUDS - YOU MADE ME FEEL SO BAD

With a name that intentionally plays on the word MOD, one could easily lump Chicago's Mauds in with the other Anglo-influenced rock n roll bands operating in mid-to-late '60's Chicago. Wrong! The Mauds took their biggest influence from soul music and, in lead singer Jimy Rogers, had a vocalist that had the blue-eyed soul pipes to back up the claim. The group was TIGHT musically and their concerts are the stuff of legend.

While they were massive in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs (their cover of Sam & Dave's "Hold On I'm Coming" was a HUGE local radio hit) the group never caught on nationally, and eventually disbanded in the early '70's.

This track shows off all the talent of the band- STRONG vocals from Rogers, great harmonies, and a track that stomps away!

Rogers became a hairstylist to the stars in LA throughout the 70's, but eventually found himself onstage again with a reunited Mauds in 1999, then fronting his own blues band until his tragic death in 2010 from cancer.

from 1967...
