Denver’s Tumbleweed Records was a small independent label co-owned by Bill Szymczyk, whose first major success had come when he convinced blues legend B.B. King to cut contemporary-sounding albums. The result was King’s first major pop crossover, “The Thrill Is Gone,” a hit in 1971. The producer went on to have great success in the 1970s, both as an A&R man and behind the board, signing and producing the James Gang.
