Blackeyed Susan was formed in 1990 by ex-Britny Fox frontman Dean Davidson after the release of 'Boys in Heat' (1989). Davidson brought in former Cinderella keyboardist Rick Criniti to play guitar. Bassist Erik Levy and drummer Chris Branco rounded out the line-up. Compared to Britny Fox, Blackeyed Susan showed a more blues rock influenced sound than the bawdy glam metal of the former. The band released their first album, 'Electric Rattlebone, on Mercury Records in 1991. 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. Blackeyed Susan began working on a followup to Electric Rattlebone called Just A Taste in 1992, but the album ultimately became a demo
