5:48 I’d definitely say EE nailed it. I’d honestly have a difficult time distinguishing it from the original White album studio version.

You're speaking my language. As an 8-9-year-old kid my brother and I each had a little Radio Shack transistor radio that we either plugged in a single mono earphone or we put the radio under our pillow which actually mitigated some of the tinny high end of that cheap speaker and improved the mids and lows. But we both fell asleep to Wolfman Jack on XERB transmitted out of Mexico spinning Lou Rawls, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Cannonball Adderly, Etta James, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and James Brown. The college dude that worked the counter at Soundsville records was always interested in who I would lay down my 35¢ per 45 record each Saturday morning. He asked why I wasn't listening to Alvin and the Chipmunks or Allen Sherman and I'd say, "That's kid's stuff." He called me an old soul. I started my musical career in elementary school orchestra on a broken down B flat clarinet the San Diego public schools lent out to me, but my skinny little fingers couldn't fill the key openings. Mom worked all Summer at sears to get me an almost brand new Leblanc closed hole clarinet and in one afternoon during try-outs, I went from the middle of 3rd section in the intermediate band to 3rd chair first section in the advanced band. Always loved Al Koopers stuff. Al's BS&T was the BEST BS&T. He truly was/is the Forrest Gump of rock music. Recently caught the recording of Al's 50th Birthday Bash at the Bottom Line. My Lord what a great archive of my favorite players. So sad that Bloomfield couldn't be there. Great stuff, Jimmy. Great stuff.

I remember hearing My Best Friends girl on the radio and then staying up to hear the complete album at midnight on the local FM rock station. I went out bought the album and put it on a cassette tape so I could play when I went to wrestling camp. I had never heard anything quite like it and was so hooked on it that I hardly listened to anything else. I is still such a fresh sound. I think Elliot's guitar solos are what hooks me in. He is really awesome.

I discovered Al Kooper when I was in high school (1966). My best friend and lead guitarist had Projections, still one of my favorite LPs. After The Blues Project, another of my favorite LPs of all time, Child is Father to the Man, the first and best BS&T LP and just about all the LPs since then. I am just about finished with his book. If you are any kind of fan, or interested in the music of that time, do yourself a favor and buy his book. Al Kooper has a great sense of humor and the book is an easy entertaining and very funny read. You won't be sorry! Recently, I had a couple of questions for Al and wrote to him via his website. Much to my surprise and amazement, I got back personal (and very humorous) replies.

The Cars! Easy one of 20 best american bands in history. And they live are unbeatable! So, Elliot Easton: a master! I'm 54 and group up listen The Cars here in Brazil and out of nowhere I just star a new Carsmania in my head, and to me is much better today than in the 80s.

Elliot Easton should be rated in the top five Guitar Players ever. Soft spoken but, extremely educated in music. It would be great if Elliot Easton, Gregg Hawks, and David Robinson would get together and produce one more Cars Album.

I found the details on layering backing vocals back in the analog days, quite fascinating. By having all 3 of the backing voices sing in the same key, then repeating the process for each harmony part, what's created is basically a 4th voice (the mix down of the 3 voices) that we hear on all the albums, and on basically all of The Cars music. This "4th voice" is integral to The Cars sound and is very much missed when you listen to the solo projects by members of the group. Also, if we listen closely to those Cars backing vocals, no single voice can ever be distinguished over another, they all blend together seamlessly into one harmonious chorus like no other. I always wondered how this was done. Now I know. Thanks for sharing this behind the scenes production peek. Loved it. ✌❤🎶🤘🎸🎤

Too hyper. Al Kooper is an excellent interview subject. He’s calm and expressive. I would have asked follow up questions and let him go into greater detail about his teenage years. And why hasn’t his ‘80s album “Championship Wrestling” ever been issued on CD? It’s one of his best.

Really enjoyed this. Great program and in this episode Elliot is just so down to earth. I hope he realizes just how talented he is and influential. These guys are gurus and it’s educational to hear real masters talk shop. “Workers” as he put it that really understand the effort it takes and that there’s just so much out there to pull in that it never ends.

Loved the interview but that one little comment you made about “hating the word” was very much not necessary! why do you people (yes, I said it) YOU PEOPLE, have to inject your freaking politics into everything? And you have the nerve to call conservatives “mean spirited”! You’ve ruined this entire interview with you petty , irrational hatred. I will be unsubscribing!

The Cars were a band that if you want to create it you can't. 5 guys with a great talent and that complemented each other perfectly. And the fact that they had a lead singer who far from being an egomaniac was the sweetest guy on earth I think was the icing on the cake.

What an absolutely pleasant man. Always been a big fan. One of the cleanest players I've ever heard. His solos were always so perfect. Way more nuance than you'd expect when you tried to play them. So happy to see him still active and in the game. Great story teller.

Fascinating insights. I've always considered The Cars to be rock and roll, but if you watch their 1979 performance of Candy-O on The Midnight Special, you can see how some might consider there to be "New Wave" elements to their music kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXiwh56mfdeUg68si=rYL-4iq876R_ZUJH . It was interesting to hear Elliot mention the Keeley 30ms pedal - I would have liked to hear what other pedals he is using currently and also for him to talk about how he achieved his iconic sound on the albums.
