A. IF YOU IGNORE SO-SO POP COVERS LIKE "BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX" AND "THIS GUY'S IN LOVE WITH YOU", AL'S DEBUT ALBUM ("SEARCHING FOR THE DOLPHINS") IS STILL A PRETTY FINE STARTER; NORTHERN SOUL FANS MIGHT HAVE HEARD "THE SNAKE" (JOKE - WHO HASN'T?!), WHILE HIS ORIGINAL VERSION OF "WHO COULD BE LOVIN' YOU (OTHER THAN ME)" IS A MUST-HEAR BEAT BALLAD OF EPIC PROPORTIONS; THEN THERE'S JIM WEBB'S "DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO", WHICH HAS SUCH A FINE SET OF LYRICS THAT IT ALMOST MAKES YOU CRY IN AL WILSON'S HANDS; THIS SIDE WAS PRODUCED BY JOHNNY RIVERS
