Well all right, so I've been foolish.
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Well all right, so I'm not working.
Well all right, let people say
That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Well all right, so I've been foolish.
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Did Talking Heads or D.Byrne copy the very beginning base line here?

Very well put. People forget that early Beatles LPs were half American R&R covers.

Wikipedia says the album cover 'with the airplane' was banned in the US. I have a distinct memory of seeing it in a record store in Philly. My 16 year old self was shocked!Shocked! And intrigued. No way could I bring that home.

I did get to see the band at the Spectrum though- 'The New Cream' !




You Lucky Duck!  I wish I could have seen them live!

Your FAVORITE Santana song? Man, please get educated on the Santana catalogue. There's a lot more there than OK covers of covers. Well All Right is on a slightly substandard album of Santana's middle period output.

10 for Winwood.  2 for Clapton.

This version is a 9.  Only Buddy gets a 10.

When in doubt--cover Holly, Dylan, or The Beatles. Hell, even The Beatles and the Stones covered Holly. 'Nuff said.

Actually, not really happy with it. I guess something went wrong and this song is coming back for a spin way too soon. I think I have listened to it early in the morning or last night...

I carried this very record to a housewarming party tonight. I didn't get a chance to play it because we went down the street and heard a most excellent local band...ok, so, I don't know whether to laugh or cry, so I think I'll just believe...

Keep it plugging, Bill!  Another one of the power groups.  Eric Clapton discovering that other folks are figuring out things with him, past him, etc.

Cheers! Small world ... we and some friends were in Malmø last fall and loved it (the park and cemetery downtown are something). BTW, another great rendition of a Buddy Holly song.

1969.....the old that is always present .... a good opportunity for all the bands these days are taking the first steps, get a referral from the example of what a song should contain, with a "beginning, middle and end ..."

RP Playlist with Buddy Holly

The first few notes sounded just like an Allman Brothers song.

When I was 18 and learning guitar and starting in bands (mid 80s), this album was it for me. We had a drummer who loved Ginger Baker (and looked a bit like him), and I loved Clapton. I wanna see the video of Blind Faith at Hyde Park again - it was life changing at the time.

I thought this was the cover to the Cowsill's first LP .

Stevie brings his jazz chops and steals the show. Monster talent throughout the lineup - epic album. Props to BH for the source material.

Well, 21 anyway, but who's counting? I'm just amazed how well this album has held up over the years. When it came out, I was of the opinion that the sixties had finally ODed on the whole super group phenomenon. While that may have been so, the album is still impressive.

yes, I vote for \"Can\'t Find My Way Home\", too! talk about deeply moving/haunting songs...
Posted 21 years ago by Amazon    [ Reply ]
Listening to all the masterful stuff Winwood has done in the past, makes me long for his come-back. \'Back in the Highlife\' was the last, really convincing album he came up with. Did he peak too soon?
Posted 22 years ago by Johray63    [ Reply ]
Good choice, Bill. How about \"Can\'t Find My Way Home\" from the same album? Thanks.
