White Witch

Formed in Florida by Buddy Richardson, a veteran of the Tampa scene (Outsiders, Soul Trippers and Noah's Ark), White Witch played a mix of psychedelia, prog, power pop, Southern heavy rock and hard/glam rock, with painted faces, powerful vocals and some strange lyrics. Their two albums (on Capricorn Records) are highly rated by some, ignored by others. Flashy vocalist Ronn Goedert was renowned for his histrionics; he sounded like a more glam Robert Plant.

Some say he influenced Axel Rose, but that's debatable. Goedert passed away in 2000, as did keys man Buddy Pendergrass in 2003. Remaining members have played sporatically over the years. Check out "Home Grown Girl" from the fist LP. "Showdown", "Class of 2000", and "Walk On" from 'Spiritual Greeting'.
