Al Kooper's soulful stew of blues, gospel, rock, and jazz is as American as baseball--and every bit as ironic, allegorical, surprising, and downright fun. Though best known as a sideman (that's his trademark organ riff on Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone"), songwriter (Gary Lewis's "This Diamond Ring"), band founder (the Blues Project, Blood, Sweat & Tears), and producer (everyone from B.B. King to Joe Ely to Lynyrd Skynyrd), this revealing double-disc anthology explores Kooper's rich and diverse career as a performer. Rare offers up demos, outtakes, and other rarities that wind from his first '60s single through three decades and a madly eclectic array of projects that include a down-tempo revisitation of Ann Peebles's "I Can't Stand the Rain," XTC's "Making Plans for Nigel" done as a 1900's English music-hall number (and rejected for a tribute album as too obtuse!), a glorious, pioneering horn-band take on "Hey Jude," a soundtrack outtake from the Crime Story TV series, and a couple of decades' worth of songs rife with his always unpredictable blues and pop instincts. Well Done collects better-known solo tracks and recordings from Blood, Sweat & Tears, the bestselling Super Session ("Albert's Shuffle"), and the Blues Project. Veteran journalist Jaan Uhelszki's notes manage the not-inconsiderable feat of both concisely chronicling and underscoring the import of Kooper's largely unsung legacy. This is a multidisc anthology that not only lives up to the medium's usually unfulfilled potential, but may just leave you craving more. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
Go ahead, you won't regreat it.......2007-04-18
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!.......2004-09-12
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?.......2003-06-18
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.
I nominate Al Kooper to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
"Well Done" cooks, but "Rare" gave me salmonella........2002-08-13
I give 5 stars to "Well Done" but 1 to "Rare". Don't get me wrong, I love Al Kooper. I just read his book "Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards" and could not put it down. This guy has done just about everything there is to do in the music business, and he has done it well. Plus he's one funny geezer.
He played on a number of classic Dylan albums including "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Blonde on Blonde". He even practically produced "New Morning" but wasn't given credit for it. He formed "Blood Sweat and Tears" but quit/was fired before they got cheesey. I love how he talks about that group... (paraphrasing) "if they can live with 'Lucretia MacEvil', God bless 'em".
He discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd and produced their first 3 albums. He claims that Ed King's guitar solo on "Sweet Home Alabama" is in the wrong key, but I disagree. I think 'G' is the right key! D/C/G = 5/4/1. Isn't that right, Professor Al?
Anyway, Kooper has been on numerous songs you know - including the Stones "Can't Always Get What You Want" and he's produced some of the greats: The Tubes, Nils Lofgren, B.B. King, Ricky Nelson, and many more I can't remember.
"Well Done" rocks convincingly. It makes a bid for Al Kooper as genius. The players he worked with in the '60s and '70's were all first rate: Mike Bloomfield, Shuggie Otis, Stephen Stills...
What bothers me most about "Rare" is the new stuff. I wanted to like it so bad - especially after reading his book and how he has been persecuted lately by record companies and fans alike, but I just couldn't help feeling like he's lost his magic touch. Some of the older rarities are fun - I really liked the big band jazz feel of "Hey Jude" - you will hardly recognize the tune, but it swings!
Anyway, one thumb up for "Well Done" and one down for "Rare", but overall it is worth the price of admission just to get a feel for Mr. Kooper's whole career. Go ahead, just be aware of what you're getting.
Super Kooper.......2002-06-02
In response to the previous reviewer's question, this CD contains the full 11 minute version of "Season Of The Witch". This compilation lives up to its name. It has a generous amount of Al's rare and well known music. The info booklet is informative and entertaining as well. Hopefully, this CD will help more people realize Al's great contribution to rock music.

Surprise for me.......2006-08-15
I am a person that really enjoyed the 80's bands and classic rock and roll. There are not many bands or singers that really get my attention. This band was brought to my fiance and after hearing Angels are Weeping I was hooked. I listened to the entire album and found myself stealing the CD and listening to it over and over. I have had the honor of listening to this band play live and they put on a great show and really appreciate the fans that come and see them. I won't try to compare them to any other band because they are their own. The money is worth buying this album and I can't wait to hear more.
A nice change of pace..........2006-06-27
Admittedly, I wasn't sure about the album at first, but it really grew on me after a couple of listens. I got to see the band in Baltimore not too long ago and was completely impressed with their live show. They were extremely different from the rest of the bands that evening, but I found that to be quite refreshing from what I had been seeing.
I got this album because I really liked the "Liar in Waiting" song as it had a very symphonic feel like a battle scene from Lord of Rings or something similar. The CD seemed to capture that song fairly well, although the energy in the lead vocal wasn't as strong as I remembered, but the keyboard and guitar work was very incredible.
The other track on this album that really stood out to me was "Angels Are Weeping", it had an incredible tribal drum beat complimented by a violin part to start the song and there was a guest soprano that sang a duet with Urn's lead singer. It very much reminded me of Nightwish.
"Father Dearest" was a song I ended up liking as well, but the drums did get slightly monotonous throughout, but I really liked the female vocals on this one, which was a different singer form the other two.
This eclectic mix of vocals was the main reason I enjoyed this CD as much as I did, although only six songs, they weren't the same song over and over again which seems to be a disturbing trend in rock music these days.
The album didn't seem to capture their live sound as well as I had hoped, but it I was very happy with the overall quality of it. The layout was very well done and tasteful. Ergo, I felt it was good value for my money.
A waste of time and money........2006-06-02
I found this CD a waste of time and money with NOTHING new or original about it. Every song drones on and on with lyrics that could have been written by any typical angst ridden High School teen. The vocals alternate between male and female leads and are limited to say the least. The whole band sounds like they are trying to imitate Evanescense or HIM or practically every legitimate "dark" group out today. Songs like "Daddy Deatest" show the limited grade "B" writing and production throughout the CD. This is a poor "indie" product and should be avoided.
1 star and that's being generous!
