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