Customer Reviews of Rare + Well Done: The Greatest & Most Obscure Recordings
Go ahead, you won't regreat it I really held off buying this CD. I love Al Kooper, but I already had most of the stuff on the Well Done CD, and this is pretty pricey. But, I really wanted the unreleased stuff, so what are you going to do? I bit, and I'm glad I did. The unreleased stuff is so much fun. If you're like me, when you really embrace an artist, digging up rarities is like an anthropologist digging up artifacts...wonderful hidden gems in the rough. <

>Actually, some of these gems are actually very polished, they just didn't see release for one reason or another. There are many stand-outs, and I particularly love Making Plans for Nigel. In Al's unique way, he really uncovers the hidden potential and beauty of the song...made me rush to my long unplayed XTC albums. I really loved XTC, but Al does this song better. Also, I never really thought anyone could improve on BS&T's version of I Can't Quit Her, much less the original artist himself. But I'll be darned if I don't need a crowbar to get this one out of my brain, synthetic drums and all! I guess that's my only criticism (however slight). Many of these songs were done by Al alone in his basement, which is really cool, except that Al does not play an actual drum kit, so we get electronic drums, and I'm a purist, particularly when it comes to percussion. But the material and arrangements are so great that I can overlook it (though I still have to wince every once in a while. <

>But hey, you got to absolutely love Rachmoninov's Birthday and what he does with (to?) Hey Jude. <

>The Well Done portion speaks for itself. If you are new to Al Kooper and want just the "best of", you'd honestly be better of with Al's Big Deal. It's got most of what's here in really good sound (for 1989). But if you are feeling adventurous, I say go for it. Listen to the Well Done CD a couple of times, fall in love with (you know you will), and then go ahead and put the Rare CD in and discover Al Kooper's true Naked Songs.
A true rock & roll legend!
33 songs on two discs, the first rare stuff and the second of course are his well known songs. Kooper does it all...blues - gospel - rock - jazz. The cover you heard of Season Of The Witch was something he did with Stephen Stills. There is a bizarre version of XTC's Making Plans For Nigel and a jazzy version of Hey Jude. A true rock & roll legend!
Why is Al Kooper not in the R & R Hall of Fame?
This is a totally dazzling collection of music from a man who is probably the most under-rated and least recognized musical geniuses working in popular music today. Not only that, he also works in blues and is a great player as well. He's up there with Brian Wislon and Lennon & McCartney, only no one knows it.
