King Richard & The Poor Boys was a blues-rock band renowned for their rugged, soulful sound and dynamic performances. Led by the charismatic Richard Newell, also known as King Biscuit Boy, the band was instrumental in the late 1960s and early 1970s Canadian blues scene. Their album "Official Music", featuring a blend of original compositions and cover songs, is often regarded as a seminal Canadian blues recording. Their music was heavily influenced by American blues, but they also incorporated elements of rock and soul, creating a distinctive style that has influenced generations of blues musicians.
