My personal review and reflection:
This album has nothing to do with Creek! It was recorded in 1970, but wasn't released until 1973 due to legal difficulties. This is a huge get-together. Lots and lots of musicians: Doctor John, Harvey Mandel, Mitch Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Todd Rundgren, Chris Wood, just to mention a few. Two musicians are not allowed to put their names on the album: A. N. Other and King Cool. (Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton). Eric is doing an OK job, but the leading guitarist is Jeff Beck. The music has its ups and downs, but all together it's a nice album, well worth buying (if you can find it!)
