From Nico Zentgraf as posted in the SW5 list
Just found the info on www.alkooper.com that Kooper
compiled a double album called Rare & Well Done.
It will include an unreleased track (I Believe To My Soul)
which he recorded with Mick (probably many years ago).
There will also be a promo CD with an edited version
of the Rolling Stones You Can't Always Get What You Want.

organ on the track. Other artists excerpted on the 37-track promo include Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, the
Who and Taj Mahal.

There is a full-color 28 page booklet enclosed with lotsa photos and
quotes from many old & new friends including: Steve Winwood, Tom
Petty, George Winston, Gene Simmons, Billy Gibbons, Brian Wilson, Andy
Partridge, BB King, and the late John Lee Hooker to name a few. Each
track is as fully annotated as available information allows with little
descriptions by yours truly. There are. in addition, wonderful liner notes
by rock critic Jaan Uhelszki. As of now, this is due in stores and on-line
on September 18, 2001. Also being sent out in advance is a promo CD
only with 37 excerpts of tracks I have played on, produced or written.
Some of the artists included are Bob Dylan, JayZ, Beastie Boys, Lynyrd
Skynyrd, The Tubes, Lulu, BB King, The Staple Singers, The Rolling
Stones, Donny Hathaway, The Who, Nils Lofgren, Lorraine Ellison, Dion,
Gene Pitney, Trisha Yearwood, Ten Years After & Kenny Lattimore. Looks
like a collectors item right outa the box.
Obviously, I'm very excited. This has been two years in the making and
as far as my fans are concerned, this is the best I can do in releasing
what I think you would enjoy. SONY has been helpful and cooperative in
making this release be just the way I envisioned it.
I'm off to Norway August 1 for the first time ever to play at the Notodden
Blues Festival along with my Boston/Berklee band The Funky Faculty. We
will also be performing selected dates the week before the release of the
CD. See the LIVE section of the website for details. Have a great
summer!!!
