Still Cooking

"When my vinyl copy of CttG finally wore out, I was really bummed to discover that Capitol Records only saw fit to release a random collection off of all three of Joy of Cooking's albums with American Originals. Finally, the producers at Acadia have preserved a really great slice of music from the early '70s. Listening to the album again after so many years, it was really a rush to hear songs left off the AO CD, such as Blues for a Friend, A Thousand Miles and Sometimes Like a River. This album of the three JOC put together I liked the best, but all of their music is classic (folk) rock. Their rereleased CDs are all going on the same shelf as my Ten Years After, John Mayall, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Hendrix and Albert King CDs among the other greats of the era. I'd highly recommend turning on the lava lamp, dabbing a splash of patchouli and giving in to the Joy."

Joy of Cooking just keeps cooking

"So I first had this in the very early seventies, and am really pleaed to reaquire them and realize how those jazzy ladies' music has just worn so well. They're great!"
