Omschrijving
Lone Star was a Welsh rock band formed in Cardiff, Wales in 1975. An embryonic line-up consisted of
former Iona members, Kenny Driscoll and Tony Smith, former Quest bassist Ray Jones, and drummer
Jim Mathews. The band took on the Lone Star moniker in early 1975 with the addition of new rhythm
section, Pete Hurley on bass and Dixie Lee on drums, and noted guitarist Paul "Tonka" Chapman (a c
ousin of famed Welsh rocker Dave Edmunds), whose credits included the bands Universe, Skid Row
(where he had replaced Gary Moore), Kimla Taz, and most notably, UFO, in a short-lived 1974 dual
guitar configuration alongside Michael Schenker. Canadian keyboardist Rick Worsnop completed the
line-up. Lone Star signed to CBS Records, and releasing their self-titled Roy Thomas Baker-produced
debut album in August 1976. It charted at No. 47 on the UK Album Charts and was supported by a UK
tour with label mate Ted Nugent. The band's second album, Firing on All Six, was produced by Gary Lyons
and released in August 1977, bettered its predecessor and reached No. 36 on the UK charts. That same
month, the band would undertake their most high profile gig yet with an appearance at the prestigious
Reading Festival on 26 August.
