“'Ot 'n' Sweaty” is the fourth album by the American rock
band Cactus. It was released in 1972. Original members Jim McCarty and Rusty
Day had left the group, so bass guitarist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice
were joined by Werner Fritzschings on guitar, Duane Hitchings on keyboards and
Peter French (ex-Leaf Hound and Atomic Rooster) on vocals. This was the band's
final album before their long hiatus that lasted until 2006. The first three
songs (filled up the first side of the original LP) were recorded live on April
3, 1972, in Puerto Rico at the Mar Y Sol Pop Festival, and the rest (the second
side of the LP) were recorded in studio (so on the album's front cover is
pointed after the band's name: On Stage In Puerto Rico And In The Studio). The
pinnacle tracks for this album are "Bad Stuff", "Bringing Me
Down", "Bedroom Mazurka", "Telling You" and a live
recording of "Let Me Swim", which was a song by the original Cactus
on their 1970 debut album.
