White Lightning - William

White Lightning were from Minneapolis.Tom Caplan formed the band,with Woody Woodrich, after leaving Litter and continues his mean guitar style here.
Band line up:Tom "Zippy" Caplan guitar,Woody Woodrich bass,Mick Stanhope drums
This song William was named after the group's equipment manager, Bill "William J. Animal" Pluta.
It's the opening track on Side two of "Acid Dreams" and is about as good as it gets.
"White Lightning" is another name for acid.They evolved into Lightning

I am pleased to hear this because I have long considered this to be one of the finest rock songs ever recorded! It is short, but in those 2 mins is packed pure energy and dynamite. Thank you for your response. :-)
