appaloosa

band who, as legend has it, were turned away by Al Kooper when they showed up at his office in 1968 hoping to show him their songs, only to be signed by him when he went out to his reception area and found the group performing for the Columbia office secretaries! In fact, Kooper was so taken by them (principally guitarist/ songwriter John Compton and violinist Robin Batteau, who later turned up in the band Pierce Arrow) that this album featured appearances by members of Blood, Sweat & Tears and by Kooper himself! We're reissuing this lost 1969 classic with original artwork and new notes featuring quotes from John Compton himself... Includes Tulu Rogers; Thoughts of Polly; Feathers; Bi-Weekly; Glossolalia; Rivers Run to the Sea; Pascal's Paradox; Yesterday's Roads; Now That I Want You; Georgia Street, and Rosalie.
