Alone Together ReviewTaped safely in a box is my copy of the original issue of this classic; you know, the one that folds out numerous times to make about four feet of album cover that proudly holds what many of us in 1970 called 'The *Barf* Album'! (Others here called it the 'marble' album.) Blue Thumb, the original label, put a lot into this album and it didn't end with the cover (second only to the cover of the first edition issue of Small Faces 'Ogden Nut Gone Flake.') The music here is one of the true artistic masterpieces from the era. Imagine a line-up that includes some of the top names of the period -- Jim Gordon (Derek & Dominoes, et al) is brilliant on the drums. Carl Radle (Derek, Delaney & Bonnie, et al) is magnificent on the bass. Leon Russell adds piano in much of the album and is at his peak. Hey, when you're playing alongside guys of this calibre, you better be! Then throw in Jim Capaldi and Stevie Winwood (Traffic) on some songs. They play with a disciplined yet fiery style that was better than most anything they ever did in Traffic. Add probably the finest Eric Clapton lead solo of all time (every bit as sweet as his playing on the Beatles 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps') at the end of 'Look at Me, Look at You.' This little-known Clapton masterpiece was recorded during the time when labels didn't like to share their artists with other labels. So, just as Clapton wasn't credited for 'My Guitar...' and George Harrison became 'l'Angelo Mysterioso' for his favor-returning appearance with Cream on 'Badge' -- most never knew that Clapton graced this one with some awesome work. The best way to think about this one is to think of Traffic, Derek and the Dominoes, Joe Cocker Band, Clapton and some of the other brilliant musicians hereon all playing better than they ever did anywhere else. This is Dave's best album by far! It was simply too good for the radio, though it did get a lot of airtime, -- but as was always the case back then -- on the less brilliant cuts. Buy this one for Clapton's end solo alone! It's as good as *anything* he's ever played before or since! You'll find it tucked away at the half-time end-piece of "Look at Me" and all the musicians in attendence know what's happening and play the piece with all the dignity and awe that it deserves. It doesn't come any more brilliant than this, kiddies (and aging kiddies!). Thanks Dave for making this one -- thirty years later and I'm still blown away by this one!Alone Together OverviewWant to learn more information about Alone Together?
