Members
- Don Francisco
- Michael Stevens
US rock group comprising Don Francisco (vocals, drums), Michael Stevens (guitar) and John Livingston Tunison (bass), Highway Robbery proved themselves adept musicians and songwriters with the arrival of their 1972 RCA Records debut, For Love Or Money. With the lyrics containing multitudinous references to the 60s, Highway Robbery balanced their hippie idealism with thunderous arrangements redolent of early Black Sabbath. The combination was a winning one, but it served to confuse record purchasers and also their record company, who dropped them shortly after the album’s release.
AllMusic: Highway Robbery
There is not much known about Highway Robbery and thanks to our dear writer Sébastien André Métens we found John Livingston. As far as we know Highway Robbery came together when Boston Tea Party’s lead guitarist Michael Stevens departures and began forming a new band, which led to a powerful heavy rock band. He found drummer Don Francisco, who was part of Atlee and Crowfoot and John Livingston.
