Drummer-Guitarist-Producer-Singer-Songwriter-Rock Star Wild Man Buddy Miles [1947-2008] pioneered the concept of a rock’n’roll band with horns in Electric Flag before Chicago and before Blood Sweat & Tears. Drummer-Singer-Songwriter-Producer Biscuit Rouse, raised in Newark, a veteran of the bands of Lauryn Hill (East Orange) and Vernon Reid, had his debut album released just last year (Biscuit & Buddy). It will be released on vinyl this year.

German funk/jazz label Leopard Records has released today Buddy and Biscuit, the first tribute ever to the great ‘60s drummer-composer-guitarist-vocalist-producer and all-around wild man rock star Buddy Miles [1947-2008], from Biscuit Rouse [Newark]. Rouse used to drum for Lauryn Hill [East Orange]. He’s currently in a band called Screaming Headless Torsos and is also in Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid’s Band Of Gypsys Revisited.
