Wool/Ed Wool and The Nomads
Personnel:
ALBUM: 1(A) WOOL (ABC ABCS-676) 1969
45s: 1 Please, Please (Don't Go)/I Need Somebody (RCA Victor 47-8940) 1966
NB: (1) as Ed Wool The Nomads.
Syracuse, New York was the stomping ground for this R'n'B/blues-influenced combo dominated by vocalist Ed Wool, whose strong raucous style could be compared to Eric Burdon, especially on numbers like the cover of Brown-Terry's Please Please (Don't Go). The LP is bluesy rock-pop, if that's your bag, whose highlight is undoubtedly Love Love Love Love Love, another vocal tour-de-force, by Tom Haskell.
Nowadays Wool resides in Albany, N.Y. and continues to record and tour with The Ed Wool Band, playing jazz-rock and big band dance music.
Tom Haskell is now a freelance photographer.
Compilation appearances include: I Need Somebody on Mind Blowers (LP).

Maybe that's why I like this band.
