Albums River Bolt Of Lightning

Press Reviews "an 8 piece Houston group and one of the finest country and old time Rockn Roll bands in town..." MUSIC NEWS - APRIL 1989 ... An album I find myself turning to again and again. The seven guys' collective name, Dr. Fry's Texas Medicine Band, has a sense of humour to it and so do the ten original songs on "River Bolt Of Lightning"(Comstock). Throughout the humour though, there is much for the dancers as well as the listeners, for these guys are a seriously talented group. The "Dr. Fry" is in fact Clifford Fry, the principal songwriter, who shares lead vocals with one Darelyn Fry Jennings on such gems as "Only Car In Your Garage", "Mr. Heavy", "Fat Farm","Judy Lou" and a live cut on "Texas Medicine".
