First off, I gotta get my plug out of the way. Two albums where Al Kooper plays with Mike
Bloomfield, both masterpieces. Super Session and Live Adventures Of.....,get them. This one,
not as good as those, but a nice album, just missing my love score. Didn't sell well, so not a
well known album. Love the mans work with BS&T and this seems like a carry over from that. Some
bluesy numbers, but not straight blues other than that worst track (it's an instrumental). Four
love tracks, with the r&b flavored Anna Lee taking down the top. Two Stevie Wonder covers on
here are good efforts. Same for a Harry Nilsson cover. I guess I was in the mood for this
album. This being Al's second solo effort. I always wanted to get the first, but never did.
Love the cover of this album also, a shot of the Detroit riots at the DNC convention in 1968.
