The Morells

The Morells were a roots rock outfit formed in Springfield, MO in the early '80s by guitarist D. Clinton Thompson (formerly with Arthur Conley) and bassist Lou Whitney, with drummer Ron Gremp and saxophone player Jim Martin. Though the group released only one album, the fine 1982 effort Shake And Push, Thompson and Whitney later formed the backbone of The Skeletons, the touring band led by Steve Forbert. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
