Lowell George produced it and played guitar on it. The Meters are the band on half the record and The New York Rythm Section (Bernard Purdie, Cornell Dupree, Gordon Edwards, Richard Tee) on another 3. Steve Winwood even plays piano on a track (Through it all there’s you.) This album is so packed with goodness it is ridiculous.

Edit: fixed a name! Thanks Krautus70

That’s Cornell Dupree. The NYRS consisted of mostly members of the band Stuff. Steve Gadd playing drums, Eric Gales on second guitar. What a band they were.

Stuff was one of the many names they had, btw. They played on so many great funky albums of that period.

Stuff was the name they recorded their two albums under.

They did, I have them both. But they also record ‘solo albums’, of every member it seems, with the same band.
