Blackeyed Susan was an American rock band from Philadelphia active between 1990 and 1992.[1] The band was formed by singer and guitarist "Dizzy" Dean Davidson after he left Britny Fox.[2]
History
Blackeyed Susan was formed in 1990 by ex-Britny Fox frontman Dean Davidson.[3] Davidson brought in former Cinderella keyboardist Rick Criniti to play guitar.[4] Bassist Erik Levy and drummer Chris Branco rounded out the line-up.[3] Compared to Britny Fox, Blackeyed Susan showed a more blues rock influenced sound than the bawdy glam metal of the former.[3] The band released their first album, Electric Rattlebone, on Mercury Records in 1991.[5] The album was a commercial failure, and Mercury pulled their support for the band while they were on tour. During the supporting tour, Rick Crintini was replaced by Jimmy Marchiano.[6] Blackeyed Susan began working on a followup to Electric Rattlebone called Just A Taste in 1992, but the album ultimately became a demo.[7]
