Loved this cover photo - The Blues Project way back in the day:

Al Kooper was in this group. He played organ on Dylan’s great song, “Like a Rolling Stone.”

Jeez, we’re old.

Old indeed we is...! Yea, Al Kooper and Steve Katz both - they went on to form the group Blood, Sweat, and Tears.

Jeez, we’re old.

More to the story than just played organ; he was in the studio as a guest of Tom Wilson, who produced the record. He was hoping to play some guitar until he heard Mike Bloomfield play and realized he had that covered. He literally snuck in on the organ and the rest as they say, is history. Interesting man, before The Blues Project and Blood, Sweat and Tears he played guitar in The Royal Teens, who had a hit with “Short Shorts” although he is not on that recording. He also is credited with “discovering” a hard working southern bar band at the time, Lynyrd Skynyrd. He produced and played on their first three albums. He also played on The Stones “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.

Fanny absolutely rocked. Great energy. Smoking cover of “Hey Bulldog”. (And who on earth woulda thought of covering that Beatles song at the time?!?) Have watched this performance many times over the years. Electrifying! Thanks!

Brian Auger's Oblivion Express - the "Straight Ahead" album cover:
(their cover of Wes Montgomery's "Bumpin' on Sunset" on this album is great)

In a 1999 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, David Bowie said :
.
“One of the most important female bands in American rock has been buried without a trace. And that is Fanny. They were one of the finest rock bands of their time, in about 1973. They were extraordinary. It just wasn’t their time."
