  1. Hi Sergej,

    You have done a great job on this site! You might put up this album,
    Marjoe Gortner "Bad But Not Evil"- Chelsea 1972. Jim Gordon,Jim Keltner
    and Hal Blaine play on it. Keep up the good work.

    1. Sergej,

      Do not see the classic Ry Cooder album "In To The Purple Valley"
      on Reprise 1971.

    1. Hi,

      Yes! John is on it, and Jim Keltner and Milt Holland. This might of been the first Ry Cooder album that Jim did. The liner notes
      were on an insert on the original LP's.
