I was thinking of going back to school,'” recalls Fox. “I said, ‘What are you doing? I know the band is not doing well.’ He said, ‘Yeah, we’ve kind of split up. Although Peters had been drumming at the time, he’d since picked up the bass - and Fox happened to know he was at loose ends with his own group, the Case of E.T. ‘Tom, aren’t you somewhat equally responsible for the music we’re making?

On record, the James Gang excelled at wresting rock ‘n’ roll glory from the jaws of seemingly certain chaos - and that’s exactly what they did behind the scenes during the months leading up to the release of their second album, 1970’s James Gang Rides Again.
