Black Cat Bones, a British heavy blues rock band, formed in London in 1966. The original lineup included Paul Tiller on lead vocals and harmonica, Paul Kossoff on lead guitar, Derek Brooks on rhythm guitar, Stuart Brooks on bass guitar, and Terry Sims on drums. The band played regularly on the London pub circuit and underwent several personnel changes early on, with Simon Kirke replacing Frank Perry as drummer in 1968. That year, Paul Kossoff and Simon Kirke left to back veteran blues pianist Champion Jack Dupree on his album When You Feel the Feeling You Was Feeling. The band's only album, Barbed Wire Sandwich, was released in 1970 on Decca's Nova label but failed to garner critical acclaim. Following its release, the band disbanded. Notable members went on to form other bands such as Free and Bad Company (Kirke), Foghat (Rod Price), Atomic Rooster and Cactus (Pete French).
