Never was a fan in the old days, but now that it's been about 35 years since I heard them, they sound pretty good ! ;)
Especially this song:
Go Down Gamblin', from
BS&T 4.
I love the first one with Al Kooper. I've never heard anything else other than "Spinning Wheel" with DCT.
Go Down Gamblin' is about has heavy as it gets with them (from what I have heard) and is an essential song in my books.

You like that song I posted ?
I didn't listen to it yet! I was rushed around yesterday. I'll listen to it today :-[
I like both songs that you and Will posted, Mikey. Yours especially, though.
Looks like I need to look into a bit more of BS&T.
Go Down Gamblin' is the best song they have, imo. A couple of "slower" songs are ok. I find their albums are filled with alot of filler.
I suspected as much. Never the less, those two tunes are cool.
I seriously doubt I'm going to go digging into their discography very much, but it's cool to know there's a bit more out there than the debut and an overplayed single.
If anything, a "best of" would give you everything you need, and probably some songs that would still be considered filler.
First LP is good, then just get the Greatest Hits for anything else. David Clayton Thomas had a greatly inflated sense of his own talents as anything other than a singer.
