The Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies – The Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies (1993)

The Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies are a band from Nashville, Tennessee, USA, which was formed in April 1991. The band embraced a heavy southern bluesy jam oriented style which led to comparisons with groups such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, The Black Crowes, Brother Cane and Cry of Love.
The core of the band was started by college buddies, Rick White (guitarist) and Terry Thomas (drummer). After meeting Bob Watkins (guitarist), the three started occasionally jamming together in 1989. It wasn't until Rick White met singer Mike Farris, in 1991, that things really came together. When Thomas called White and Watkins for another jam session at his space at Big Red storage, they brought Farris along with them. This meeting, April 24th 1991, was the inception of the band. The band recalls it as Divine Dispensation. They immediately bonded and wrote five songs the first night that would be on the SCW self-titled CD. With the addition of Steve Burgess (bass guitar), the lineup was complete. The band chose their name from a The Far Side illustration by artist Gary Larson captioned "Cheetah Wheelies". The band added "Screamin'" (officially omitting the last letter in a nod to colloquial southern slang, a theme which returned in the title of their first single "Shakin' The Blues") and began playing local bars. The band was soon playing all the local venues including Ace of Clubs and 328 Performance Hall, but it was their residency shows at a small blues club called The Grapevine Cafe, next door to the world-famous Exit/In near Vanderbilt University, that gained industry attention. These shows were always a sold-out affair and led to the band being signed to Atlantic Records in 1993 by the infamous Jason Flom.
