I bought this when it first came out...the wah wah was smokin' and the horns and keyboards were state of the art....the good ol' days. LIVE...today's rappers are crap.
I must have worn out about 25 lps with this on it. I would light up, put this lp on and listen to this song over and over. Ah the good times. What am I doing now...lighting up and listening to .........omg. Oh it is ok...I have added youtube.
Season Of The Witch [Album Version] - Steve Stills;Al Kooper - 1969 - "AMG Pick. Al Kooper and company easily slipped it into a hard, slow soul-fried groove that was only hinted at in the (brilliant) original. ...underpinning the groove and rhythm with a solid sense of funk, without resorting to histrionics." - Rare & Well Done: The Greatest And Most Obscure Recordings 1964-2001 (Well Done) (Columbia/Legacy) (Disc 2)-2001.
Thanks TumbrelJockey, who plays the great wah-wah guitars? Imagine Super Session, Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills with Glen Miller Big Band, live at Carnegie Hall?
This version of Season Of The Witch is my favorite classic of all the time.
This is one of the greatest albums ever...timeless. It always takes me back to the beginning of my Hippy daze...Stills on one side,Bloomfield on the other,and Al Kooper,(a relatively unknown,and underrated keyboardist)...doesn't get any better than this.
Too bad youtube didn't allow the full time to play all...only about a minute more...oh well. Nice pick anyway.
oh very strange wright now! great wah wah guitar mus be the season of the witch. Great Jam Super Session, hammond power, drums, bass, the Big Band, the solo duo voice with organ...who plays organ? No credits for the members of brass session Big Band?
@Bakunin53 The Tower of Power horns were "go to" session players on a number of the major artists solo efforts.Traffic's Winwood played B3 for Hendrix on "Ladyland".Buddy Miles or Jim Keltner might have been on drums.Steven Stills would play bass at times- even Bloomfield -but the rhythm section just seems to know the other so well here to be "travelling all stars".Hat's off to the guys in the trenches though -whoever they were..
Ain't no doubtaboutit. This is and forever will be some heavy-duty stuff. It'll be interesting and cool material fer' many gens to groove on. Thanks, fellas'! B.
cette version est absolument génial!!! et en plus avec stephen stills et al kooper!!! i suggest you the julie driscoll and brian auger version or donovan version there are great too!!
@irlandos1 How right you are !!! I'm from their generation and this was one of my preferred songs to make love to as a student. Still waiting for another group to make us vibrate :) :)

A Stephen Stills box set coming next year. People will finally 'get it.' His creativity was sort of short-lived, but it was amazing while it lasted.
