During that time Joe had some beautiful acoustic songs that he had come up with, so we decided to make “Rides Again” half electric and half acoustic. Bill used to play the tunes back in the control room at ear shattering volume and we really got psyched! We even blew up the brand new playback speakers at The Record Plant in Los Angeles during the break in “The Bomber”! (Can’t take these guys anywhere!). A few days later we had “Funk #49,” “The Bomber,” and “Woman,” songs that turned into great live concert tunes. We were so busy that we didn’t have time to write many songs so we found ourselves sitting in the studio looking at each other and saying, “Here we are, now what?” I remember that the mood was good, and our producer Bill Szymczyk was willing to try anything, so we let the tape roll and started jamming. Joe was at the top of his form and was doing amazing things with his guitar. We were touring a lot at that time and we were playing really well together. I think “Rides Again” was our best album.
