Doctor, Doctor...

I thought that Stillwater was entirely made up by Cameron Crowe for the movie Almost Famous. But apparently there really was a Stillwater whose music Crowe licensed.

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stillwater), however, there was a real 1970s band called Stillwater whose works Crowe licensed for the movie, but ended up not using. Instead, the "Stillwater" music was written by Nancy Wilson.

So, looking at the movie soundtrack, there's a song called "Fever Dog" credited to Stillwater" and composed by Russell Hammond (the character played by Billy Crudup).

Who really did play "Fever Dog" for the soundtrack?

I find it hard to believe that it was the actors in the movie. And was it composed by Nancy Wilson or not?
