Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'Naked Songs' was released in 1973, Al Kooper was transitioning from his earlier successes with Blood, Sweat & Tears and his production work for Bob Dylan. This album marked a significant shift towards a more personal and stripped-down approach, following his 1970 release 'New York City (You're a Woman)' which began this introspective journey.
