Customer Reviews

Al Kooper Blew More Deals Than Linda Lovelace

He WAS in B.S. & T, and 48 other bands, but made his money producing Skynard and a couple others. So he can't write music, and his book has little insight gossip or new news. Poseur is what I say, using the Dylan connection for the 80th time. He had no shame horning in on Bob's Columbia Tribute!
