Active compensatory factors: Jim Horn is a flute and sax player who has appeared on the solo albums of three former Beatle albums, and just about everyone else in rock that you can think of (the list is impressive) including the Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds) and Canned Heat (it's his flute on Going Up the Country).
This was his debut solo album on the famous Shelter label. The list of famous players on it is also impressive: Jim Keltner; Jim Gordon; Leon Russell; Booker T; Rita Coolidge; and Carl Radle are among them.
Given the people involved, these songs are all master class versions of some popular tunes and some obscure ones. The standard remains high and tight throughout.
That said, instrumental versions of songs even by these experts is still of limited appeal to the wider public. It's not on Spotify, for instance.
Where do they all belong? Be keen to find the Jim's Horns album - also on Shelter.
