He had been leading bands in the Youngstown music scene since the 1960s, with the likes of Jimmy and The Continentals, Robins Hoods (which not only featured Glass Harp\/Human Beinz member Steve Markulin but also full-on Renaissance costumes) and The Pill. By 1970, Jimmy was ready to move into more original and heavier material rather than remain ‘pop and cover-oriented’. Bringing on 21- year-old guitar virtuoso Craig Davis, and 17-year-old bass player Frank Zoccole who had been around the Youngstown music scene, Bull Run embarked on showcasing original lyrics and arrangements, totally immersing themselves into the new sound. Thanks to my dad’s meticulous archiving of everything associated with the band, we know that this did not serve them commercially. There’s a rejection letter from Columbia Records suggesting that they “get into a top 40 bag (keep it heavy if you like) and write some commercial tunes.” There’s also a note that must have been passed to him by an upset club owner during a gig that says, “Nobody’s dancing! Did you notice? Play some of the top 40 (if you know how)”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003ecredits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased April 1, 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBULL RUN:\u003cbr\u003eJim Connor: vocals, drums, acoustic guitars, organ\u003cbr\u003eCraig Davis: lead guitar, background vocals\u003cbr\u003eFrank Zoccole: bass guitar, background vocals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll songs written by Jim Connor and Craig Davis, except \"Leper's Castle\" (Jim Connor \/ Craig Davis \/ Michael DeLaney)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Jim Connor\u003cbr\u003eRecorded August-September 1971 at Peppermint Productions, GS Productions and at home, Youngstown, OH\u003cbr\u003eArrangements by Jim Connor and Craig Davis\u003cbr\u003eCompiled by Kim Connor, Dean Anshutz, and Anthony LaMarca\u003cbr\u003eTape transfer by Gary Rhamy at Peppermint Productions, Youngstown, OH\u003cbr\u003eAudio restoration and Remastering by Adam Boose, Cauliflower Audio, Cleveland, OH\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations by Jim Connor\u003cbr\u003eLayout design by David Pokrivnak\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ROCK \u0026 ROLL HALL OF FAME RECORD STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47270449479849,"sku":"PR-5121","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5982\/5577\/files\/bull_run_vinyl.jpg?v=1784293750","url":"https:\/\/shop.rockhall.com\/es\/products\/bull-run-bull-run-rust-belt-orange-color-vinyl-lp","provider":"Rock \u0026 Roll Hall of Fame Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
