not an album that you might expect to have heard from this guy circa '72...lot of horn arrangements...think early chicago or tower of power even.

If it's funky horn instrumentals, I'd rather the Memphis Horns, or King Curtis.

However, it gladdens my heart that record labels, back in the 70s, were clued in enough to release albums by sidemen and session men.

I think there was also a Bobby Whitlock solo album at the same time, and also the first Memphis Horns solo album.

From Rate Your Music :

Jack Bruce - Bass
Charlie Freeman - Guitar
Jim Gordon - Drums
George Harrison - Guitar
Nicky Hopkins - Keyboards
Bobby Keys - Saxophone
Corky Laing - Drums
Dave Mason - Guitar
Felix Pappalardi - Bass
Jim Price - Horn, Keyboards
Carl Radle - Bass
Ringo Starr - Drums

Bobby plays the sax , horns and guitar and is a high in demand sessionplayer
notably: late 60s/early70s Stones , Humble Pie ,Joe Cocker , George Harrisson

the album is heavy on horns and sax soulrock with a great session cast including Leslie West and Felix Pappalardi (both Mountain) Dave Mason George Harrisson and several members of the Bonnie & Delaney Bramlett crew

side one opens with a groovy soulrocker , another great track is 'Bootleg'

but side two is the best!
several great bass heavy funky tracks ( one including some fuzz bass) with some Leslie West guitar-riffing
excellent produced !!!

if "heavy funk" is your thing, get it !!

It is/was easily available off the Net as one major Jap boot label (Empress Valley?) found a pristine vinyl of the UK lp and pressed it on CD at "mid-price".

And I concur : the music is nice!

Thanks for that; Whitlock did a corker of a version of Bell Bottom Blues with Clapton on Jools Holland's Later
