The group was led by Bobby Lawson and was known for their hard, blues-based sound which, as they evolved, increasingly incorporated esoteric psychedelic elements.
The group regularly worked with musician, songwriter, and producer Jim Dickinson and cut the first rock release for Memphis label, Ardent Records.
[2] A high school friend of the band arranged for them to cut demos at the home recording studio of John Fry.
[1] After the release of the single, the members of Lawson and Four More did a side-project together with Jim Dickinson as a novelty Batman-themed takeoff group, the Avengers, who wore "Batman" and "Robin" costumes.
[7][2] Lawson and Four More followed up with a second single under their regular name for Ardent, ""Halfway Down the Stairs" b/w "Relax Your Mind" that showed the group evolving further in a psychedelic direction.
[2] As the band moved further into psychedelia, their sound became less danceable and they began to destroy equipment onstage, which made them less appealing to the audiences at local venues such as Skateland Frayser and elsewhere.
[4] Lawson and Four More's brand of hard blues-based rock predicted the approach of later Memphis bands such as Moloch and Snake, who became popular at the end of the 1960s.
