Spinning Wheel...hands down. My dad always used to rock out to that...and 22 years later I'm continuing that trend. Spinning Wheel is so random...it makes me think of some circus on acid...really awkward and random.

And When I Die

I thought BST took a major hit in quality when David Clayton-Thomas took over. The Al Kooper version of BST, which recorded the album "Child is the Father to Man" was an important band; it really did fuse jazz, blues, and rock, and gave the players a lot of solo space. The next album, Clayton-Thomas' first, and without Kooper, had more hits; "Spinning Wheel", "You've Made Me So Very Happy", and "And When I Die", which are good songs. But the band replaced the jazz with static horn charts, turning them into a lesser version of Chicago overnight. After that second album, things went downhill in a hurry. They only managed one more (weak) hit, "Hi-De-Ho" (from the third album) and by the time of their fifth album, virtually nobody bought their albums. It is one of the great inexplicable mysteries of life that they managed to release 12 studio albums with such a poor sales record. All my favorite BST songs are on "Child Is the Father to Man" ("I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know", "I Can't Quit Her"), which makes my personal top-100 albums of the 60's list, somewhere near the lower end. After those, I guess my favorite Clayton-Thomas song would be "Spinning Wheel", which has an odd rhythm. None if this is meant as a dis to Clayton-Thomas, who I think had a soulful voice, and definitely could sing. But the band ceased to be important within a year or two of his joining. I'd read your article, because I like reading about rock and roll also-rans. But not sure how many people really care about what BST did in the late 70's and 80's... Good luck.
