Post Description

Following the success of his Super Session collaboration with Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills, Al Kooper planned a follow-up. Taking up the role of lead guitarist on Kooper Session was a young Shuggie Otis (only 15 years old at the time!). It followed much the same formula as its predecessor, with a side of arranged R&B-based songs (with Kooper on vocals), and a side of loose bluesy instrumental jams. The songs side included "Double Or Nothing" (originally by Booker T & The MGs), Little Buster's "Looking For A Home", and Kooper's dramatic gospel-styled arrangement of "Bury My Body". The full lineup of musicians featured is Kooper (organ & piano), Otis(guitar), Stu Woods (bass), Mark Klingman (piano) and Wells Kelly (drums).
