Galaxy Playlist for April 10, 2006

Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).

For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.

Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Stephen Stills (with Harvey Brooks, bass, Eddie Hoh, drums	Albert's Shuffle	Rock, Classic, '60s	Columbia, 1968	This is an interesting session that finds Kooper recently departed from Blood, Sweat and Tears, Stills just weeks away from joining David Crosby and Graham Nash, and Bloomfield being departed from his band, Electric Flag. Bloomfield and Kooper had worked together on various Bob Dylan tracks, and after this they would combine forces with a live album that is, along with this album, credited with being one of the classic rock albums of the late '60s. It Takes A Lot to Laugh..., a Dylan composition, was done by Kooper and Stills when Bloomfield had to exit the session after the first day, and Stills' guitar solo echoes the soloing style that we would later hear on the CSNY live album 4 Way Street.
