Well … there have been many times he’s played with no effects whatsoever, even entire projects… but when he used effects, they were special, and he only used them like icing on a cake. He was The Best. 🎸❤️🩹🙏🏼

Charmaine Sims Curtis was so great at distilling the perfect elements together. The idea of the train over Jordan appears in gospels and spirituals prior to this, though, since there were trains really. Curtis just took that imagery to craft one hell of a piece. Deceptive, appearing simple, but you really have to be in control as well as in the groove. I remember one hot bug bitten night a bunch a musicians and folks all decided to be hot and bug bitten around the bandstand on the Common, our only big public park for miles, and folks were just rotating in and out singing or playing, adding verses, morphing one song into another, and I remember a very old spiritual suddenly becoming this, and then becoming Leave it There or something. I think the nuns even rolled over one of their old upright pianos from the old convent across the way. I think I was about eight. Curtis’s work inspired and filled nights like these, God bless him.

I loved Blood, Sweat and Tears best, when Al Kooper was vocalist and keyboardist on their first LP, Child is Father to the Man, what a masterpiece.
