4.0 out of 5 stars Anybody here, seen my old friend Shuggie?, September 29, 2000

This japanese import sounds great, and as far as I know, there are no domestic releases. I still have the LP, but it's virtually unplayable. However, this CD, complete with japanese liner notes, sounds so good, you can even hear Shuggies pick on the strings. Al Koopers organ/electric piano also sounds wonderful. My two favorites are #'s 5 and 7, the lengthy "12:15 Goonbash Blues" and "Shuggies Shuffle", respectively, an absolute MUST for any blues or blues/rock lover.

4.0 out of 5 stars remember he's 15 yrs old, December 29, 1998

as the liner notes state shuggie is only 15 at the time of thie recording. while i am just discovering that this is finally available on cd i am very familiar with this record. if you loved super session then this is for you. the "a" side or songs is a combination of gospel and blues, while the "b" is 3 long jams. shuggie is the star here while kooper and the others keep a great backbeat, the blues are what shuggie is meant to play. only 2 questions remain, why no usa cd release? and why isn't shuggie recording? someone should find him in california and sign him quick.

4.0 out of 5 stars never released in america 'til now!, September 23, 2000

this is another of my all time favorites, i had this album when i was only 20 years old....this is a japanese import complete with japanese liner notes, the correct title is "kooper session", not "volume 2 kooper sessions", but it is one and the same. shuggie otis was fifteen years old at the time, but boy, does he rip on guitar. my two favorite tracks are #'s 5 and 7, "12:15 slow goonbash blues" and "shuggies shuffle", a definate MUST for all blues/rock lovers.
