Harvey Mandel- Baby Batter (CD)
Undoubtedly one of the world's greatest guitarists in the history of rock n' roll, Harvey Mandel was light years ahead of the competition when he first broke onto the scene in the mid 1960's with Charley Musselwhite's Southside Band, bridging the gap between blues and rock n' roll. A true innovator who sounded like no one else at the time, Mandel played with such notables as Canned Heat, The Rolling Stones, and John Mayall before starting a solo career. Presented here is Mandel's classic 1971 solo album Baby Batter, featuring a solid band that included Canned Heat's Larry Taylor (Fender bass); Howard Wales (organ, electric piano); Paul Lagos (drums); Big Black (conga) and Mike Melvoin (organ, electric piano). All selections have been newly remastered.
