That last one I was inspired to pull because it dawned on me, when listening to the Szabo LP, that Carlos Santana lifted his famous coda solo on their cover of Peter Green's "Black Magic Woman" nearly wholesale from Szabo's original composition "Gypsy Queen", something I'd never twigged before (Green however lifts Otis Rush instead in his own version).
Love "Undercurrent" Rushton, undeservedly overlooked minor gem, I think I listed it in this space when I discovered it a couple years back (older CD issue though, could've stood remastering)...since then I've gotten a couple other more recent Drew releases on vinyl from his expat years, but that's special.
Hi, Zaikesman. Yes, I really enjoy this record and especially the title cut, "Undercurrent." I've listed this one before in its Music Matters reincarnation on 45rpm. It's one of the best sounding records from this superb reissue series that I have on my shelves.
