It is impossible to not start movin and groovin to this.

Such a great bass tone and presence on this album. Great grooves. Makes me want to strut

[randyschiffer]

I remember when I was learning to play drums I would put records on and try to play along. Honky Tonk Woman was the first I could play along too, it's pretty easy. But then I bought this album and lets just say the song about a hamster made me switch to tambourine.

I always loved the tune Bad Shoes with James singing

[steven_scattergood]

Love that sound. I thought l nearly heard Frank Zappa at one point. I think quite a few of us don’t sleep well anymore. It’s a crazy world. Stay safe and enjoy your day Lee.

Hi all - I just ordered a copy of the DVD of The Wrecking Crew movie as I’ve never seen it. One tiny bit of good news for Ukraine is that the people of Wrexham in UK sent food, clothing and other aid in a convoy of 80 full truckloads yesterday.

Hey Lee. Thanks for these great tunes! You are all such a tight group!!

[msstroh]

The versatility is very under appreciated in my opinion.

[lavatar]

I remember listening to Fork It Over back in the day when instrumental albums were quite popular from Jeff Beck to Weather Report. The Section certainly held their own in that scene!

[kenrehor]

These albums are burned in my brain from endless listening in college. Outstanding!

[j.kliban]

Love The Section! What a supremely funky and elastic combination of players. Love to hear your detailed and heartfelt commentary, too. Now there's a "jam band"!

[artrogers]

Fantastic! Takes me back to the early 70’s, dropping acid and listening to Frank Zappa. I miss those days.

[rikconverse]

Always a favorite!! Street Pizza!! on of my 3 favorites from this album!! Russ' drums at the end really pop! Craig is stellar on this! Nice solo by Kootch. And that phat bass bastard, Brilliant! ;-)

[patriciaburke]

Wow! You are all such remarkable musicians! Thanks for sharing your talents! Take care & God bless all.

[brettmarlar]

Man, "Street Pizza" not only had a slamming groove, but Danny's guitar tone had that "Cissy Stut" by the Meters tone! I can vibe on that all day!
Hampsters of Doom!!!! Love the Latin vibe on that one! The Spanish Nylon string guitar really sells that one!!

[eddiethek]

Hi Leland. Cool vibes from ‘77. Closing in on #900! Thanks for making Sunday - and every day - a little better.

[seamasmulholland]

Hamsters of Doom! Are you sure Warren Zevon wasn’t around when you picked the title for that track! 🤣

[w.geoffreyspaulding]

I have always been envious of people who can get by…even thrive…with little sleep. You guys have an advantage! Literally more hours to work with than the rest of us.

[christopherstapleton]

Absolutely fantastic! The Section is a Great band.
