Again it was the cover

That caused me to pick this album. I know Mississippi Queen. So I expect southern rock. Going to listen while running to my daughter’s school to pick her up from band practice.


Mississippi Queen

As I mentioned above. I know this one. 

Theme for an Imaginary Western

This one is much different than the first track. I really enjoy the solo. 

Never In My Life

This is more of what I expected. I can hear some things I would consider southern rock

Silver Paper

Interesting intro, a song of devotion and love. 

For Yasgur’s Farm

This one I probably liked the least, perhaps I will warm up on subsequent listens. 

To My Friend

This is very different and perhaps my favorite on the album. I think that Gogol Bordello may have borrowed from this song when composing “Not A Crime”

The Laird

A plea for freedom and peace. Instrumentation 

Sittin’ On A Rainbow

I enjoyed this one, I was driving while listening and there was a rainbow that made it even more cool. 

Boys In the Band

Bluesy final song for the album.


Well now

This wasn’t quite what I expected. I was expecting a lot of cowbell and southern drawls. Instead I received something more akin to Led Zeppelin. I did enjoy this and added a couple songs to my playlist. I am not sure I will explore more of the catalog.
