There’s nothing included on Supergroup that wasn’t readily available on any of the 23 Warner Bros. albums this collection was designed to promote, but the set is still an interesting sign of the times… as that new-fangled dance craze that was just beginning to sweep the world in 1975 begins worming its way into some of the material heard here. In strange places, too, like Elvin Bishop’s “Struttin’ My Stuff” and The Bellamy Brothers’ “Let Your Love Flow.” It’s not straight-out disco, mind you, but it’s easy to hear the artistic concessions to the changing consumerism in recordings by long establish types looking for inroads back to the airwaves – from George Benson to The Four Seasons to The Doobie Brothers. Fortunately… just as many have chosen to keep the faith; Jesse Colin Young revs up Randy Newman’s “Have You Seen My Baby” (a.k.a. Hold On), Todd Rundgren covers The Yardbirds “Happenings Ten Years Time Ago,” Maria Muldaur records Wendy Waldman’s “Back By Fall” and Emmylou Harris offers her cover of “Ohh Las Vegas” (first heard on Gram’s Grievous Angel). Some new, jazzier names surface here as well, including Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Pat Martino and Miroslav Vitous. Check the inside cover to put names to the faces of the cover art, cleanly printed with no album title (or any other information, save the catalog number).
