Biography The Story of DOC HOLLIDAY Doc Holliday, named after the historical character often portrayed in films relating to the Wyatt Earp-epos as the coughing western hero who had a stance on each side of the law, come from Macon, Georgia, just like the Allman Brothers. Their first album „Doc Holliday“ was a ticket tofame in 1981, especially in Germany and Europe, and climbed to #30 in the Billboard AlbumRock Charts. Subsequentially, the band supported the Outlaws on their Ghostriders Tour in the States in sold-out venues in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York City, etc. At the time the line-up was: Bruce Brookshire (g, lead vox), Rick Skelton (g, vox), John Samuelson (b, vox), Eddie Stone (keyb., vox), and Herman Davis Nixon (dr). The second album „Doc Holliday Rides Again“ made them, still today, one of the mostsuccessful southern rock bands in the generation after the Allmans and Skynyrds, and the hymnical „Lonesome Guitar“, a song in the finest southern tradition of Lynyrd Skynyrds„Freebird“ or Molly Hatchets „Fall of the Peacemakers“, is to be heard on it. The next US coast to coast tour, they supported Black Sabbath, and in 1982, they were theopening act for April Wine and Loverboy. Their third album "Modern Medicine" was recorded 1983 in Munich, Germany, in a ratherunusual „disco art-rock sound“, and on the occasion the band did their first concerts in the country. Doc Holliday did over 250 concerts a year from 1981 to 1983 and performed with the Outlaws,Charlie Daniels, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, Gregg Allman, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and many other celebrities, in venues such as the famous Madison Square Garden in New York. A burn-out after excessive touring topped by the commercial flop of the uninspired album „Modern Medicine“ caused the band to split up in 1984, but they already reunited in 1986,publishing their next album „Danger Zone“ on an european label.In 1989, their fifth album hit the market: „Song for the Outlaw Live“, even today one of theforemost southern rock achievements. Its release was publically related by a tour of Europe, a habit of touring the band maintained in the nineties, performing at summer festivals and in clubs in the old world. 1993 was spent on writing and recording the album „Son of the Morning Star“, which wasonce again released on a european label and led to another tour there, finishing with a tour through Finland and Germany with UFO and Quiet Riot. „Son of the Morning Star“ was released in the States in 1994.In the winter of 1996, the seventh album „ Legacy“ was released on a world-wide scale,featuring a number of newly recorded old songs as well as five new ones. After bandleader Bruce Brookshire absolved a solo tour in 1997, the band came together againat the end of that year and was joined by the original line-up of the first three albums for the Doc Holliday Reunion Jam in Macon. In 1998, the band once again reduced its activities, due to its members concentrating on theirindividual projects. Bruce Brookshire writes and produces christian music. Nonetheless, they often rejoined on stage on one or the other occasion. In the fall of 2000, Doc Holliday did an eight-city tour in Germany along with the germansouthern rockers Lizard. „Dangerzone“ and „Song for the Outlaw – Live“ were re-released in August, 2001, digitallyremastered, boasting completely new artwork and two bonus tracks each. In October, 2001, „A Better Road“ is released, containing five new songs, including threehithereto unpublished songs from the bands heydays as well as five remastered and partially even overdubbed classics. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
