This is another band I used to listen to a lot, mostly from their greatest hits album. :)
KAS

BST was a mainstay. Though their first album (founding member Al Kooper vocals instead of David Clayton Thomas) wasn't a smash hit compared to those after they became widely known, I think it's better than any of the following ones. Maybe better than all of them combined. Not sure if the music is still available, but the title is Child is Father to the Man.

I'll admit I had quite a collection of their work from the DCT era, but looking back he seems to be a precursor to the Michael Bolton I-really-need-to-take-a-dump-really-bad overly fake "emotion" style. It got popular for a short while (think Creed) and I'm glad it's mostly gone.

I know I have some Al Kooper on vinyl, I have not heard it in a long time. I liked the music, but was not really a fan of the sound of his voice, at least that is what I remember. I do remember that he was in this band also, I never had that 1st album though. I did look it up, and yep that was the voice I remember. :|
