◇ image via WikipediaSteppenwolf
Steppenwolf is a Heavy metal and Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Exuma, Don Covay, Hoyt Axton, Buddy Rich and Iron Butterfly. Those roots explain a lot about how Steppenwolf arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ten Years After, Steve Miller Band, Three Dog Night, James Gang and Free, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Motörhead, Carpenters, Player, Powderfinger and Blind Melon, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 56 connections around Steppenwolf, reaching back through Exuma and forward to Motörhead.
