Those WERE great soulful albums....there was a time, that time, when
Delaney and Bonnie (and "friends" were about the ultra of the ultra...on
tour with Clapton (as Mr./ Wall put it before he takes ;eave of us "before
he sucked")..and the Crickets, and George Harrison.. all on a neverending
infamous road tour, sometimes overlapping and joining he same-time
never-ending "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour of Joe Cocker and Leon
Russell...I'm sure the entire gang can be dismissed in half a breath as f.
hippies now...and some will, but boy, they also made some music amidst al
of that out-of-favor behavior.
(Trivia memory: The Delaney and Bonnie & Friends LP with the Rolls Royce
on the cover and boots sticking out...That was Albert Grossman's Rolls and
Mr. Bob Dylan's feet....Did I mention that the cover of the Stone's "Get
Yer Ya Yas Out" from same frantic 1970 period features another Dylan
salute--- jewels and binoculars hang from the head of that mule!)
