| Rough, hairy rockers whose music was every bit as grungy as the album cover would lead you to believe. Their music was mostly heavy blues rock with thundering blues harp and extremely gravel-voiced no-nonsense singing and dirty-sounding rhythm guitars. They did cover three well-known songs on the album, but changed them around (different tempos, rhythms, etc.) The best songs are the upbeat originals, but all of it is good. |  |
This is in many ways what real rock'n roll should be — honest, rough and slightly pissed off. The album, though being issued on the small Lizard label, may be not so obscure, but the band surely is. The group was led by a very unique guitarist, singer, arranger, Bob Desnoyers, and named after a small town somewhere out in the back country near San Diego, there is almost no information available on this outfit. They were: Bob Desnoyers, Steve Williams, Ron Armstrong and John Fergus. The band received enough airplay and sales to reach 93 in Billboard’s top selling albums. The album is well know among collectors today.

JAMUL was a killer band. Both on the stage and off. We were intense beyond the normal accepted limits and didn't care. What we did know was that the people loved us and we gave them everything we had every time we hit the stage. Whether it was a stadium concert (first concert ever done in San Diego Stadium), high school homecoming (Mt. Miguel High School 1970) or any club (Neutral Grounds, Funky Quarters, The Pleasure Club in National City) we gave it all. From the beaches to the clubhouses on Dictionary Hill, JAMUL was happening. Soon on http://www.d-bros.com the true complete history of JAMUL will be available. In the meantime, thank you for the kind words given us on this page. Don't forget to check out Ron Armstrong's new CD "Just Around The Bend".
