Johnny Wirick and Benjamin Smith previously played with Henry and June. After that band broke up in 1996, Wirick joined with Doug Walker to form Johnny Walker. Walker left the duo suddenly in 1998, and Wirick asked Smith to fill in. The two were later joined by Oliver Henry, forming the Soledad Brothers. allmusic: The Soledad Brothers
Quotes
"Soledad Brothers are easily one of my favorites of the latest crop of garage rockers and in the top 3 of the ones from Detroit. They throw a whole lot more into the mix, i.e. deeper blues mixed with a bit of jazz. This isn't necessarily an upbeat party record, but a heavy duty one to listen to in the dark with headphones on and the refreshment of your choice" — JC Loud Fast Rules #4 Alive Naturalsounds Records: Soledad Brothers
