Question
Who played that monster blues organ on Don Covay's "House of Blue Lights"?  There is no mention of this on the liner notes; I couldn't find the answer anywhere on the 'Net.

Answer
Hello Will,

Here is a page about the album: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_Blue_Lights_(album)

and also see: http://wc03.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:omkvu3y5andk

But although the band members are named, the hammond player isn't. Sepiatone records reissued the album ( see http://www.thebirdmangroup.com/sepiatone.html
they may be able to tell you.

Regards, George
