Legendary musician, producer and songwriter Al Kooper visits the Massachusetts studios of Lost and Found for an interview and musical journey through his career in performing with a who's who of Rock music royalty. Listen to stories behind the music as Al takes you into recording sessions in addition to sharing songs from his classic catalog, some unreleased music and some of his favorite Rock music of the current generation.

The Brooklyn-born musician began in the late 1950s as a sideman, producer and songwriter eventually gaining placement to play on the Bob Dylan albums "Blonde On Blonde" and "Highway 61 Revisited" during the 60's. Some of his greatest and most well-known accomplishments are his credit as the fouder of Blood, Sweat, and Tears and as one of the most important members of the The Blues Project. "Super Session" an album which Kooper produced and performed on with groundbreaking guitarist Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills is iconic within Rock as an album which pioneered the idea of the "super group" in the late 60's into the early 70's, spawning a number of classic groups after it's release. Al's involvement is notable in collaborating with many talented musicians within an era of Rock which would shape the genre for years to come, even collaborating with and drawing influence from Soul musicians of the time. After "Super Session" Al went on to perform on albums by The Rolling Stones, George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Cream, The Who, and many more.

As a musician who has influenced generations while also keeping his ear to newly emerging acts, Al took the opportunity to share some of the music which he enjoys these days. He plays the music of current bands which fit in the vein of the revival 60's Rock sound he is so well known for, in addition to sharing a few of his own recent performances.
