Biography
A.B. Skhy was an American electric blues group formed in Milwaukee in 1968, originally named New Blues, comprising Dennis Geyer (guitar, vocals), Jim Marcotte (bass), Terry Anderson (drums), and Howard Wales (keyboards). The band relocated to San Francisco and adopted the name A.B. Skhy, gaining a local following through live performances before signing with MGM Records. In 1969, they released the selfâtitled album A.B. Skhy, produced by Richard Delvy, which included the single "Camel Back" that reached number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100. After lineup changes that saw Anderson and Wales depart, Dennis Geyer and Jim Marcotte recruited Rick Jaeger and James "Curley" Cooke, and the group issued Ramblin' On in March 1970, produced by Kim Fowley and Michael Lloyd; the album mixed covers and Cooke originals. The band dissolved in 1970 before completing a third album, and subsequent releases such as A.B. Skhy featuring Howard Wales (1994) and Curiosities From The San Francisco Underground, Volume One (2016) preserved their brief but notable contribution to the electric blues scene.
