LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

This 1971 release was the most ambitious album of John's career, highlighted by the eponymous, 16-minute suite that took up all of side two! But this is not prog-rock, folks; this is a master songwriting storyteller taking his time to get all his insights down on tape (in this case, the story of how he and his wife Catherine got together and a roadtrip they took with another couple; hence 'The Four of Us' title). Other tracks include 'Well, Well, Well; Black Snake Blues; I Don't Want Nobody Else; Apple HIll; Black Satin Kid; We'll See', and 'Sweet Muse', and contributors include the Esso Trinidad Steel Band, Dr. John and Felix Pappalardi!
