Some 45 years after its original release, Stephen Stills is finally recording the long-awaited sequel to the legendary 1968 Super Session album.
Well, almost…
The original Super Session recording, was billed at the time as a dream collaboration between Stills, Mike Bloomfield (Electric Flag) and Al Kooper (The Blues Project, Blood Sweat & Tears). Now considered to be a classic, Super Session spotlighted the guitar skills of Bloomfield on one side and Stills on the other, but also featured keyboards by Kooper and Bloomfield’s Electric Flag bandmate Barry Goldberg.
An eleven minute cover of Donovan’s “Season Of The Witch” from the album received significant airplay on FM rock stations at the time, and remained a staple of the format for several years.
But although they both played on the Super Session album, Stills and Goldberg had never actually met, at least until now. Brought together at long last by manager Elliot Roberts (best known, of course, for guiding the career of occasional Stills bandmate Neil Young), the two musicians began writing with the idea of a long-awaited, blues-oriented sequel to the 1968 Super Session in mind.
