And I am pleased that these women made it in recently
Love BST’s first album with Al. It is an all time favorite.
I was a sophomore in high school. They blew my mind.
Oh yeah !! Big time. Them and Joan Jett rocked my adolescent world. Add Carrie fisher and Olivia newton john for good measure.
Adventures in Babysitting was at our local art film theatre and of course Elizabeth Shue is awesome but hell Albert collins has a great music cameo in that flick too. I love him.
Yes, probably my favorite album of all time. Well, one of them.
In 1994, I attended Al Kooper’s 50th Birthday Party Concert at The Bottom Line in NYC. He did 3 sets: first, with the ex-members of The Blues Project & 3rd with his pick up band (with Joe Walsh playing lead guitar). The 2nd set was with what he called the “Child is Father to the Man” Band. He had given up rights to the BS&T name, but most of the members were there with him playing that 1st album. I got a t-shirt. And a great memory.
Al was integral to this
Its turning into an Al Kooper thread (not that that’s a bad thing), so here’s some more: he was on stage with Dylan at the famous Newport concert where Dylan was boo’ed. I’ve heard that he said (in some interview or other) that the boo’ing wasn’t due to Dylan playing electric, but because it was a short set. I don’t think so, but what do I know?
I’ve always liked this BST song the best
Really like the photos that accompany this too
Well, if Al Kooper is involved with any music, the odds are overwhelmingly that it will be terrific. Ah, Super Session.
produced and performed on first 3 Lynyrd Skynyrd Albums…
trivia time - what was the former 60s psych group of a member of skynyrd and who was that member?
al made his way onto some classic albums including electric ladyland, let it bleed, who’s next, live and well, blonde on blonde…more
Love the Firesign Theatre records, time to dust em off.
