That entirely depends on which album you listen to. I'm not particularly a fan of his work in general, but I have to give him credit for producing such a varied body of work over the course of his career.
Thank you. I'll start with Odelay and maybe get to some others.
"Years ago I really self discovered the wonder of Eela Craig with "One Niter 1976" and "Hats Of Glass (1978)" both of which are great albums. The debut album in review here is very different for their mid 70's albums that I was familiar with carring a less symphonic approach for sure. This is pure classic 70's Krautrock thru and thru ...and an amazing album for sure. Saturated in tons of organ, sax, flutes, e piano this album really will blow your mind! Again very spacey and the band really like to ebb and flow between more serene moments and heavier parts. Lead vocalist Wil Orthofer has a great voice and a deep soul which really adds nicely to the music. Throw in a couple of 10 min tracks and you have an album that will work for all lovers of 70's Krautrock." (progarchives) _________________ "And can’t you see you’re in on it?

Second listen. It's really great, I'm not too fond of Howlin' Wolf, but this is truly awesome. Kinda minimal in the instrumentation actually. There's a kind of emptiness feeling going on... Like, there's a lot of space. Bizarre, but at the same time I guess it's what makes it so good.
