Release Notes:
Released just after Al Kooper left the band, one imagines that
neither he nor the other members of the group were pleased with
this LP. According to Kooper, it was a pastiche of studio outtakes
and a few live performances, and only one of the songs was
actually recorded at New York City's Town Hall. Anyway, this has a
meandering, ten-minute "Flute Thing" and decent live versions of
"Wake Me, Shake Me" and "I Can't Keep from Crying" which, despite
a somewhat rawer feel, are not necessary supplements to the fine
studio takes. "Where There's Smoke, There's Fire" and the great
"No Time Like the Right Time" had already been released as
singles; to hear them without canned applause, you only need to
turn to Rhino's first-rate Best of the Blues Project instead. That
compilation also contains the other cut of note on this album, an
outtake-sounding cover of Patrick Sky's "Love Will Endure."
