"I am not much of a music reviewer, but I just wanted to get my vote in. I have owned this album since it was released and I keep coming back to it. The songs are always fresh and leave me with a longing for other bands like the Jayhawks. If a band can create an album like this just once in their career, they have done a great job. I urge you to take a chance and buy this one, you won't regret it."

Could have been recorded in 1971 (compliment!)

"A belated review for an album I've had for many years, largely because I've just read all the reviews and I'm slightly surprised at some of the comparisons - particularly Gram Parsons, who I can't hear in there at all.



For me, the antecedents of this band are not so much the Byrds/Burritos,as Buffalo Springfield and their offshoots, particularly Neil Young and - the biggest soundalike of all - Poco. If someone had told me this was an unreleased Poco album recorded between "From The Inside" and "A Good Feelin' To Know" I'd have been tempted to believe them.



Anyway, it's excellent, and has stood the test of time."
