Neil’s manager Morey Alexander received a call from RCA Records asking Neil to put a jam album together like Merryweather’s "Word of Mouth". Neil Merryweather, Charlie Musselwhite and Barry Goldberg were reunited again after playing on the Capitol Records album together.
Merryweather, John Richardson & Robin Boers were the band that jammed with Barry and J. J. Velker played on a few tracks. Neil brought Lynn Carey (Mama Lion) to the sessions as a guest artist.
The reunion occurred at RCA Studios on Ivar Avenue, thus the name "Ivar Avenue Reunion”.(discogs)
From this album, released in 1970 by RCA Victor (LSP-4442), i chose "Ride Mama Ride" and "Fast Train". Enjoy!!!
