Doc Holliday was an American Southern rock band from Warner Robins, Georgia, named after the American frontier gambler, gunfighter, and dentist Doc Holliday. In 1971, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Bruce Brookshire, together with his brother Bob, formed a blues band called Roundhouse. Toward the end of the decade, a later version of Roundhouse came to the attention of Nantucket managers Bill Cain and Jet Matthews, which led to a name change to Doc Holliday and a recording contract with A&M Records. The initial recording lineup consisted of Bruce Brookshire, John Samuelson, Ric Skelton, Eddie Stone, and Herman Nixon, who recorded the band’s self‑titled debut album in 1980. Produced by Tom Allom, the album reached the Top 30 of the Billboard 200. A follow‑up, Doc Holliday Rides Again, appeared the next year, produced by Allom with co‑producer David Anderle. Doc Holliday went on to tour with Black Sabbath, Gregg Allman, April Wine, Loverboy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Charlie Daniels Band, Blackfoot, Pat Travers, Point Blank, Molly Hatchet, and many others. The band’s third album, Modern Medicine, was recorded in Munich with German producer Mack, chosen for his success with Queen and Billy Squier. According to Brookshire, the band hoped Mack’s contemporary production style would help them achieve a hit record during a period dominated by synthesizers and techno‑influenced pop. However, the album’s shift in musical direction alienated part of their fan base. After a lukewarm reception, an unsuccessful tour, and being dropped by both their management and record label, Doc Holliday came to a halt in 1984. See for more.
