I like Arlo...

"I like Arlo. After first hearing him 30 years ago I still put him on in the morning with my coffee. He is one of those artists that I buy over again when a new format comes in style (such as LP verses CD). I have never listened to any of his albums (no matter how many times) without either laughing, crying, singing along, dancing, or feeling that I have learned something new about humanity. I like him just as much and more than most artists I listen to. That includes Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Wilco, Modest Mouse, Neal Young, Ben Harper, Nine Inch Nails, The wallflowers, Radio Head, Ten Years After, The Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, Kieth Urban, and so on. This album is a great one -- I cannot put this on my player without singing along from the beginning to the end. If you like folk music Arlo is the modern master. He's a humble man and a great artist."

Thanks to the Brooklyn Cowboy

"I live in France. Where this album has not been reissued since its original launch. My original vinyl version got lost during one of my apartment movings, and I've been looking for this album for the last 15 years. What a pleasure!! my memory was not betrayed, this album is a pure jewel. Farell O'Gara, first title, is so authentic, amazingly beautiful... The version of Gates of Eden (B. Dylan) is absolutely fantastic. Great staff plays on this album : Jesse Ed Davis, fabulous guitarist who played with Taj Mahal, George Harrison, ..., Clarence White (guitarist of the Byrds), and last but not least, Ry Cooder ... Arlo's voice is clear, simple, whith both a sound of poetry and a touch of humour, perfectly adapted to his music. This album is one out of the twenty to take with you on a desert island."
