Listening notes

Tom Principato Band’s I Know What You’re Thinkin’… is a 1988 vinyl release on Powerhouse Records (3), catalog number P-103. Categorized under Blues, the album presents an eight-track program spread evenly across two sides, four tracks per side. Based on the listed durations, Side A runs approximately 19:15 and Side B approximately 18:09, for a total of about 37:24.

Side A opens with I Won’t Recover (A-1, 3:56) and proceeds to Never Make Your Move Too Soon (A-2, 5:16), followed by Rose Marie (A-3, 3:50). The side closes with Blue Lights (A-4, 6:13), the longest track on the record. This sequence sets a clear pacing on the first half, with track lengths ranging from just under four minutes to a little over six.

Side B begins with Congo Square (B-1, 5:50) and then shifts to Try To Reach You (B-2, 3:00), the shortest track on the album. The title track, I Know What You’re Thinkin’ (B-3, 3:50), appears in the third slot on this side, followed by Honeydripper (B-4, 5:29) as the closer. Notably, the album title includes an ellipsis—rendered as I Know What You’re Thinkin’…—while the track itself is listed without the ellipsis.

Within the Blues genre designation, the sequencing highlights a mix of concise cuts and more extended pieces on both sides. The tracklist and timings provide a straightforward snapshot of the album’s structure: Side A emphasizes a gradual build toward its longest selection, and Side B places the shortest track near the top while reserving two relatively longer performances for the opening and closing positions.
