"Mississippi" was formed on the basis of the previously existing in Adelaide (Australia) folk-rock trio Alison Gros, which included Graeham Goble, Russ Johnson and John Mower. The trio in 1970 released one seven-inch record "Naturally / Would You Really Have To Go?" on the independent label "Gamba". Then the guys moved to Melbourne and here they were lucky. They signed a record deal with Fable Records, owned by Mr. Ron Tudor. And already in 1971 they released two EPs - "If I Ask You / So Good" and "All The Days / Weaver Of Life". They then made several recordings that are considered the highlights of Australian rock. But this time they took refuge behind a collective pseudonym - Drummond. Why, I never found out. But anyway, their song "Eagle Rock" (a cover version of one hit of the past years) took first place in the charts and stayed at the top for 22 weeks! The Fable dealers were so happy about this success that they released three more singles on behalf of Drummond, inviting anonymous studio musicians (and our heroes were not attracted!).
