Pot Liquor had its beginning in 1969 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and played an intriguing mix of country, blues, and southern rock. They released three excellent albums between 1970 and 1973 and more in 1979 before calling it quits. Yet these godfathers of Southern rock never got the recognition they deserved.
Pot Liquor was formed in the late '60s by George Ratzlaff (keyboards, rhythm guitar, vocals), Les Wallace (guitar, vocals), Guy Schaeffer (bass, vocals) and Jerry Amoroso (drums, percussion, vocals) and soon after that signed a deal with the Janus Records label. Their debut album, First Taste came out in 1970.
