CREED is a band that still stands tall in Memphis music even after more than 40 years. Their one album, CREED, released in 1978, offers Southern-edged hard rock that has a slight AOR flavor thanks to the keyboard magic of Hal Butler. “Firecracker” and “Time and Time Again” are standouts. While Steve Ingle had all the drawing power any band would need, in the end, so did Hal Butler. In the ‘70s, a band had drawing power if they had an excellent soloist. Some bands had guitar soloist, while other bands drew crowds with a fantastic keyboard soloist. CREED had both. Any band that had Steve Ingle and Hal Butler in it was so worth the price of admission. Hal Butler resurfaced in 1999, featured on the Jimi Jamison’s SURVIVOR album “Empires”. Steve Ingle’s latest project is Triple X.
