Al Kooper's Blues-Rock Quest
This ambitious work attempts to fuse blues and rock by a music industry veteran who has participated in many famous albums as a keyboardist.
This is a satisfying album that brings to fruition Al Kooper's vast experience and exceptional musical sense in the form of blues-rock. His organ playing, in particular, has a unique warmth that adds depth and richness to the entire song. As the title "Easy Does It" suggests, the music is natural yet highly polished. This is a masterpiece by a mature musician, whose deep love and understanding of American roots music is evident.
