Some nice songs on that one---much better than some of their other outings IMHO. My favorite work by him is his work with Edgar and Johnny Winter and ESPECIALLY his first solo album "OPEN FIRE". I consider that album to be his masterpiece. Speaker Lab Fan, how do you find out about all these rockers who die? Are you on a rock obituary mailing list? :p
Anyways, here's what the Open Fire album looks like. I've bought this album on vinyl, CD, and even had a pre-recorded cassette (yuck!) in my car back in my college days......
This stuff brought tears to my eyes tonight. We lost one of the great ones yesterday........ :(
