You have entered my Wonder Years... Super Session with Mike Bloomfield and Steven Stills is a mighty fine album - '67. That along with "Kooper Session" the album Kooper cut with the outstanding guitarist Shuggie Otis around '68... some sweet heartfelt playing there!

Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Bloomfield on their eponymous '65 album is killer- Elvin Bishop on guitar. Also check out Bloomfield in the band Electric Flag - their big album was "A Long Time Comin'" - outstanding jazz fusion horn sound and a teenage Buddy Miles on drums. I hope some of you got to see Buddy play- he was up there with Bonzo as a rock drummer.

Brings to mind The Blues Project with Kooper and Danny Kalb- "Projections" from '66 is well worth it, but I really love "Planned Obsolescence" and their self-titled album - '70-ish, I think post Kooper.

If you want to get the MONSTER horn sound though, there is nothing like Ten Wheel Drive. Those guys had chops! I still remember them as the loudest freakin rock band I ever heard. "Brief Replies" is an outstanding album musically, an unfortunate recording and pressing though. What a stage show- like 15 people on stage. Hall and Oates sang backing vocals as kids in TWD.

Last thought-there are some fine studio guys on some of the Hall & Oates albums- they're not all lame- those guys had the cats, back in the day
