![]() The song was written weeks before we knew it would be in the movie. That's Kooper counting off SAT NIGHT SPECIAL. let the bird finger make the back cover!īilly was SO SURPRISED. Q - It always surprised me that the record co. The property owner had just shot it dead that morning! IN THE HEAD. On the back cover of that album (where Billy's flipping the bird), there's a dead gator (that's not in the photo) right off to the side of that path. To me, it's still largely unfinished.a very rushed project.in and out in 30 days, literally. That album pretty much bombed when it came out. If we should ever meet, make sure you ask me about it! I'll show it to you. I don't know why Allen's credited with the 'trout voice' on the album because I don't think he ever did it on record.I could be wrong, though.I don't remember him ever doing it in a way that would LAST FOREVER. (Obviously, the 'trout voice' is something of Allen's that stuck with me thru the years.) He loves it - he jumps all over me when I do it. Hard to describe, but I use Allen's 'trout voice' to call my dog sometimes. I can imitate it but can't tell you what it sounds like.high-pitched with a certain Southern drawl. Q - Why was Allen credited with "trout voice" on Nuthin Fancy?Īllen did this voice that someone tagged as the 'trout voice'. Peter Rudge's idea (For the album title) was "Nuthin Fancy". No wonder there are so many home studios. I hated it but I sat there every day for a week. So everybody in the band took down some notes, gave them to me and sent me out to California to help Kooper re-mix the entire album. The band hated the mix and some of the extra instruments that had been added. Oh, why sugar coat it? We thought it was dreadful. We were on the road and Al Kooper sent us his mix. At least I didn't bring any friends around. I'll admit that was a mistake! COUNTRY BOY may have a strange bass drum sound, thanks to me. One time Kooper he showed up a few hours late for a session only to find out that I'd taken it upon myself to change the bass drum sound. Sometimes it's aggravating to show up at a session and sit around for 4 hours while an engineer gets a bass drum sound. I recall the studio did not produce a good drum sound and Kooper spent a lot of time trying to get it right. Kooper probably did take off for a few days - but doing that record was the main reason he said he'd had enough. Kooper got real annoyed and I couldn't blame him. (Of course, I never have any friends so I'm not a problem!) Midway through the recording of that album, some of the band members were getting into the bad habit of bringing their "friends" around to hang out. ![]()
