| Audio: red herrings Web site, Tom Rush - "Take A Little Walk With Me," Aug. 18, 2010 (Paul Cable says in his book "Bob Dylan: His Unreleased Recordings" that the "Roosevelt Gook" who plays piano on all six tracks on side 1 of this album is thought to be Bob [Dylan]. However, both Tom Rush in an Oct 1999 interview and Al Kooper in his book "Back Stage Passes & Backstabbing Bastards" say that the person using this pseudonym was actually Al Kooper). Al Kooper is credited with playing electric guitar and celesta as well as co-production on this album, and apparently wanted a separate fee rather than just a payment for "doubling up" Bob [Dylan] names a companion as "Roosevelt Gook" during a phone-in on the Bob Fass Show, WBAI radio, New York, 26 Jan 1966, and Clinton Heylin says this was definitely Al Kooper) | |
