After Cactus' dissolution in 1972, Bogert and Appice finally joined with Beck to form Beck, Bogert & Appice. The band's first album, Cactus, was OK, with a speed-demon version of Mose Allison's "Parchman Farm," but their music never amounted to anything more than the formulaic on subsequent releases. What was, was Cactus, a generic boogie band that never got beyond opening-act status and never sold many records. One can only wonder what might have been. I'm very impressed by the harmonica playing singer Rusty Day's.Hear the drum solo in 'Fell so good', or Bass solo in 'Oleo'. The question of whether white people can deal with the music blues. All the rest is heavy blues, slow blues, fast blues or just blues. The only number that sticks out a bit stylistically from the other is "My Lady from South of Detroit," which is maintained in an atmosphere of country. In total, the team works hard to identify otherwise than as a "white blues". They recruited guitarist Jim McCarty (guitars Miles)and from Mitch Ryder's, disassembling Detroit Wheels, and singer Rusty Day from Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes. Stewart then joined pal Ron Wood in the revamped Faces (and pursued a somewhat lucrative solo career), leaving Bogert and Appice to find alternates for their dream band. The plan was derailed when Beck had a motorcycle accident that incapacitated him for 18 months. The plan was for the Vanilla Fudge rhythm section of bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice to join with guitar god Jeff Beck and his singer Rod Stewart in a supergroup of sorts. You make me another, great fun, (which is already difficult for me to count the) listen this many times Originally released as ATCO Records SD 33-340 in 1970 Too bad the illustrious members of Cactus would quickly lose interest in this band project and deliver increasingly mediocre efforts in the years that followed." (Eduardo Rivadavia AllMusic) And we digress - for the blistering closing duo of "Oleo" and "Feel So Good" (complete with bass and drum solo slots) easily certifies the Cactus LP as one of the best hard rock albums of the then brand-new decade, bar none. The already quasi-legendary Vanilla Fudge rhythm section of Bogert and Appice may have provided the backbone of the band's business cards, and soulful, ex-Amboy Duke Rusty Day brought the voice, but it was arguably former Detroit Wheels guitarist Jim McCarty who was the true star in the Cactus galaxy, spraying notes and shredding solos all over album highlights such as "You Can't Judge a Book By the Cover," "Let Me Swim," and, most notably, a manic, turbocharged version of "Parchman Farm." The fact that Cactus chose to tackle this classic blues song just a year after it'd been blasted into the fuzz-distortion stratosphere by Blue Cheer betrays - at best - a healthy competitive spirit within the early-'70s hard rock milieu, and at worst it suggests something of a mercenary nature to Cactus' motives, but that's an issue for the surviving bandmembers to duke it out over in the retirement home. "Cactus may have never amounted to anything more than a half-hearted, last-minute improvised supergroup, but that don't mean their eponymous 1970 debut didn't rock like a mofo.
