The Sun Never Sets On British Quartets...
...Even if, as in the case of The British Walkers, they weren't actually British. The British Walkers were, however, a kickass combination of The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Kinks fronted by a tall, lanky hellraiser named Bobbie (or Bobby) Howard (shown to the left walking the band's mascot). Bobby Poe aka The Poe Kat and Mitch Corday guided the local D.C. group's career from 1964 until they broke up in 1968. Their debut single was a remarkably polished effort on Try Records entitled "I Found You" and was co-written/co-produced by Bobbie Howard and lead guitarist Roy Buchanan. Roy had started the song years before as a love song to his wife. The B-side, a remake of the Bo Diddley classic "Diddley Daddy", was also co-produced by Bobbie Howard and Roy Buchanan.
In their short lifetime, The British Walkers recorded some fantastic singles. These included the aforementioned "I Found You" b/w "Diddley Daddy", a remake of "The Girl Can't Help It" b/w "Lonely Lover's Poem", the Stones-like harmonica rocker "Watch Yourself" (co-written by Bobbie Howard and Link Wray) b/w "Bad Lightnin'" and their one national chart record, the incendiary "Shake" b/w "That Was Yesterday".
