Black Cat Bones (named after black cat bones, a Hoodoo charm associated with blues music) were a British heavy blues rock band that is probably best known for the members that LEFT the band before their one and only album was recorded, namely Paul Kossoff and Simon Kirke of Free and Bad Company fame. Barbed Wire Sandwich was that album, which was released in 1970 with Kossoff's replacement, one Rod Price, who would later go on to become the ‘The Magician of Slide’ in a little old band called Foghat. After the band split up, Derek and Stuart Brooks were joined by vocalist Pete French, guitarist Mike Halls and drummer Keith George Young to become the hard rock band Leaf Hound.
