re: Good albums with horn sections

This album is dominated less by horns than by (brilliant) string arrangements, but the horns are great too. The horns in the climax of the final song may be my favorite horn part of all time:
"You Set The Scene"

American Soul Train
Countless soul singers have had a go at the enduring American standard Tennessee Waltz without really nailing it, but this version takes it further than most. After a flourish from the big horn section, the heavily echoed voice of Little Alfred takes centre stage. And what a fine job he does, swooping and swaying around the melody, with some “my my my” phrases very reminiscent of the Big O. At first the pace is so slow the song hardly moves at all, but then after a verse or two it really picks up. A trick probably lifted from “Try A Little Tenderness”.
The name of the group hides the identity of the The Boogie Kings, the best big R & B/Rock 'n' Roll band in Louisiana who were on a tour in the West Coast when this track was cut. Little Alfred is in fact the vocalist who made his name with another superb Pelican State aggregation, swamp pop maestros Cookie & the Cupcakes.

I know little about BS but I recently read DM tried to get more stage time for his vocals, leading to more than one altercation with Steven Stills.

Very true. I'm fairly certain "altercation" is a polite euphemism for Knuckle Junction. Dewy's voice was absolutely "front man" quality and very strong but possibly didn't lend itself to many of their ethereal and delicate harmonies and melodies. His vocals and that piece are both aberrations for which I believe we can credit the Louisiana men from Eunice.
They have always been one of my favorites from that era. I wore out their albums, then, successively, their 4-tracks, 8-tracks, and, finally, their cassettes. I still have their CDs in my stash for use in my antique Cherokee.
Too much exceptional individual talent to be confined in a group for very long. I'm certain drugs and ego played their part in their breakup as well.
The flowering of the breakup and the subsequent contributions and innovations of a high order to the music of those times were exceptional. Probably worthy of a thread of its own someday.
For some reason today I'm reminded of Jesus's words in St. John's gospel.

The Specials' self-titled debut album is chock-full of mad brassy ska.

Frank Sinatra, "It Might As Well Be Swing".
Sinatra and the Count Basie Orchestra, arranged by Quincy Jones. It doesn't get much better.
Don't forget about that Texas Swing band, Asleep at the Wheel.
