 Rating:  - Stop"Stop" never fails to get me, no matter how many listens. Same thing with "Albert's Shuffle", w/ or w/o horns. All in all, a brilliant album. Rating: - Listen to this album. Seems like a lot of the people who bought this album bought it mostly because of Mike Bloomfield's half of it. And let me tell you, this is a great half. The instrumentation is nothing new, but the musicians play with this flare that is unique to this album.

Answer.. see above. Albert's Shuffle, best blues number. Tribute to Albert King. "His Holy Modal Majesty" best acid fade to jazz. No, it's not from "Easy Rider". Get the first Blood Sweat & Tears album for more Al Kooper. Rating:  - Kooper+Bloomfield+Stills=Super SessionI first bought Super Session (and its semi-sequel "The Live Adventures") on vinyl at a garage sale for $1, primarily after reading Al Kooper's book "Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards" detailing the sessions. After 1-2 plays of each I found myself saying "I bought these because...?" Don't get me wrong, each is full of well played music, but the legend of these albums seems to have overtaken the facts. So years later when I bought the CD's (for whatever reason) I was saying the same things. ... Read More |
