Thiele had an impressive reputation as a Jazz producer, heading up the Impulse label. Amongst his production credits are B.B. King, John Coltrane, and John Lee Hooker. The band recorded two diverse and musically outstanding albums in 1968-1969 before splitting up. The late 1960s was a period of experimentation musically, culturally and socially. In America, bands mixing rhythm sections with brass instruments to experiment and produce a music that was new, exciting, radical and crossed boundaries was the norm rather than the extreme. Emerging from Los Angeles in the same time frame, The Outlaw Blues Band recorded two influential albums for ABC Bluesway Records in 1968 “The Outlaw Blues Band and the People” and ‘Breaking In” released in 1969 which was destined for obscurity initially.
