The Return of Koerner, Ray & Glover


The Return of Koerner, Ray and Glover is the third and final studio album by Koerner, Ray & Glover. The album was released on October 22, 1965. It was their last recording for Elektra and it would be seven years before the trio's next release.
Koerner appeared at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival accompanied by Glover, one of the few times the two performed without Dave Ray.
The Return of Koerner, Ray and Glover was reissued by Red House Records in 1999.

Reception

AllMusic critic Jeff Burger wrote that "...this beautifully remasters 1965 collection is filled with the humor, rhythm, soulful vocals and top-notch material that made the outfit such a standout... If you like this kind of music, it's a safe bet that you'll love this album." In his JazzTimes review, music critic Bill Milkowski called the album "a quintessential white boy blues album that helped fuel the '60s blues boom." Reviewed in Mother Jones, the reissue was called "... driving, foot-stomping, aggressively acoustic blues that seamlessly meshes original composition with material from the great bluesmen... an album of remarkable breadth, much more than the sum of its parts."
