Sage' was a Tampa, FL based band that was founded in 1967. Sage began playing local dances and clubs which eventually brought the band to the attention of Blues Image's Mike Pinera who signed them to his small Illusion label. It is widely rumoured that Illusion was some sort of a tax scam with albums by Sage and stable mates Hopney being given away or destroyed immediately upon release.
There probably is more than just a small grain of truth in this rumour, as this particular album is spectacularly rare and almost never comes up for sale. Sage By Sage is a strong album with some first-rate playing and excellent song writing.

ReplyDeleteFollowed Sage regularly during the sixties and seventies, they were our favorite local band. Great guitar playing great singing just fabulous to watch. Thanks so much for posting this. I knew all the members and I don't believe that is Roger Stephen in the picture, that looks like Rick Joyce.. Anybody want to verify one way or the other?
ReplyDeleteYes, That’s Rick.. Still one of my best friends….
