Background notes
Archive material and source history
Badluck Bandits came out of Manchester in the early 1970s, a rock band led by Jimmy Cooper. They put out their first single 'Bring My Baby Back' in 1974, and it caught on. The song had a straightforward, yearning quality that worked.
Their lineup included Cooper on vocals and guitar, Mick Malone on lead guitar, Billy Blackwood on bass, and Tony Richards on drums. They were known for a live show with some rough edges and energy. The band's offstage life could be dramatic, with Cooper's personality and Malone's temper getting attention.
They recorded more after that first single, pulling in some blues and soul touches. At one point they worked with Janis Joplin and Eric Clapton. The music from those years still gets played.
