I was browsing the vinyls in a local record store yesterday when I came across an older looking LP by a band called The Blues Project. I didn't know anything about this album called Live at the Cafe Au Go Go, but for three dollars I purchased it anyway. As it turns out, the album is great. It's a live recording from a 1966 folk/blues festival in New York's Greenwich Village which features some great hard covers of popular blues tunes and a couple folk melodies. Has anyone else heard them? I've never heard them mentioned on here, or anywhere for that matter. If you like '60s blues and/or folk, you should really check this record out.
Ohhh... I've come across an album or two of theirs in Half-Priced Books. I picked one up once, but it was so out of shape, that I really couldn't waste the money that they were asking for it. I'm glad you like it. Tommy Flanders...that name is so familiar...
You should get one of those. I don't know, I like them. I think it would be worth it, unless they were asking $20 or something. The first album (the one that I got) is the only one with Flanders, though.
yeah this is a nearly cult band (that had made 3 LP's i think...) exept for their last album from late 1968... There is future Blood Sweat and Tears members (steve Katz and All Kooper)...don't wait time in the large Blood Sweat & Tears collection ...this is not an interesting band (they became an horrible 70's radio band like Chicago) exept maybe as often rockcritics said their 4 album in the very begging of their carrier (68-71)... There is another connection if you like Blues Project...2 band members (the bass/flute player & the drummer) form Seatrain (they were produced by Georges Martin) directly after the Blues Project split in 1969 and made 3 or 4 good albums.
