Biografia:

Ex-membros do grupo Rhinoceros voltaram a se reunir em 1972 para formar a banda Blackstone Rangers. Por força de circunstâncias, a denominação foi abreviada para Blackstone.

O lineup inicial tinha o cantor John Finley, os guitarristas Danny Weis e Larry Leishman, o pianista Michael Fonfara e o baixista Peter Hodgson. Pouco tempo depois, o baterista Richard Steinberg e o músico Frank "Zeke" Sheppard engrossaram o time.

O único disco da banda, "On The Line", saiu em 1973. Os críticos musicais torceram o nariz para o álbum, e, ato contínuo, a maioria dos integrantes da banda (Finley, Leishman, Hodgson, Sheppard e Steinberg) se bandeou para trabalhos mais lucrativos. Weis e Fonfara tentaram prosseguir, trazendo sangue novo para o grupo (o baixista John Prakash, o vocalista Mike Stull e o baterista Penti "Whitey" Glan), mas foi inútil: o término oficial da Blackstone aconteceu em 1973, apenas um ano após a sua criação (Charlotte Dillon, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).

(*) LP lançado originalmente em 1970.

Biografia:

A americana Ides Of March, de Chicago, Illinois, irrompeu no cenário nacional em 1970 com o single campeão de vendas "Vehicle", que apresentou mais do que uma semelhança passageira com o estilo do então bem-sucedido grupo Blood, Sweat & Tears. Mas a genealogia da Ides Of March mostra uma origem mais antiga e diversa do que a BS&T.

Formada na metade dos anos 60, em Chicago, a original Ides, criada por Jim Peterik, era um grupo adolescente que se caracterizava pelo repertório próprio e pelas harmonias vocais pop à moda inglesa. Rapidamente a banda passou a gravar para a subsidiária americana da etiqueta londrina Parrot Records, que lançou cinco singles da Ides entre 1996 e 1967, incluindo o sucesso local "You Wouldn't Listen". Todavia, no encerramento da década sessentista, Peterik inseriu um naipe de metais no grupo, adotando estilo e sonoridade completamente novos. Um indefectível e habilidoso compositor comercial, Peterik tratou logo de compor "Vehicle" para expor o reformulado som da Ides, espelhando-se no sucesso de bandas com instrumentos de sopro, como Chase e Blood, Sweat & Tears. 

"Vehicle" fez enorme sucesso, gerando, nas suas pegadas, o single "Superman", elaborado nos mesmos moldes do anterior. Outra canção bem situada nas paradas (e um contraste gritante diante dos metais predominantes em "Vehicle", que compunha o lado A do single) foi a melancólica "L.A. Goodbye".  Problemas de pessoal e a mudança para a gravadora RCA Victor determinaram o fim da banda. Peterik entrou nos anos 80 atuando como produtor e compositor, escrevendo vários hits para .38 Special e outros grupos. A Ides voltou reformulada, em 1993, para gravar um disco com material inédito e versões dos seus sucessos, desde "You Wouldn't Listen". Nos anos seguintes, Peterik permaneceu em atividade, compondo e produzindo. E a Ides continuou excursionando após a virada do milênio (Cub Koda, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
