The best album of all time
Roon | California | 06/10/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have fond memories as a seven year old wearing out my uncle's promo copy of this album, that a radio station threw away,on my dinky kiddie record player. Now I'm 44 and the album still moves me. Almost every style of music is presented here and the pacing of the record is masterful,with upbeat jazzy songs followed by mellow,peaceful ones. For example the relaxed "Cast your fate to the wind" is followed by the exciting,brassy theme from "ironside" The wonderful guitarist and harmonica virtuoso Toots Theilmans is featured throughout and takes his instruments to new heights. Marvin Gaye's "What's going on" is the album's nine minute tour de force with wonderful solos throughout. Bill Cosby sings the theme to his 1969 TV show and the album closes with "From roots to froots" a wonderful history of blues guitar from leadbelly to Hendrix..Whew! This album should be in everyone's collection. A rich and rewarding listen."
