DESCRIPTION
Following his success with the Blues Project and Blood, Sweat & Tears-and his triumphs with Mike Bloomfield-Al put out his own streak of excellent LPs on Columbia. Here are five from his late-'60s/early-'70s prime: the charting "I Stand Alone," "You Never Know Who Your Friends Are," "Easy Does It" and "New York City (You're a Woman)" plus 1973's "Naked Songs." You'll find many highlights from his long career and flavors of country, gospel, blues and soul: "Jolie," "Blind Baby," "Brand New Day," "Buckskin Boy," "New York City," "John the Baptist," "The Great American Marriage / Nothing," "Don't Know Why I Love You," "Song and Dance for the Unborn Frightened Child" and more, with Al shining on both guitar and keys throughout!
