`68er Country-Klassiker, den Valentino/Elliott in Nashville mit Cats
wie Jerry Reed und Kenny Buttrey einspielten. Weniger mysteriöse
Psychedelia à la Triangle, eher von Sweethearts
Of The Rodeo beeinflußter, ganz exzellenter Country-Rock.

After taking the Beau Brummels to the pop/folk psychedelic edge, producer
Lenny Waronker took the band to Nashville, literally. Possibly influenced
by the Byrds Sweetheart experiments, the group (now down to just Sal Valentino
on vocals and Ron Elliott on guitars) wedded with Nashville's finest,
including guitarist Jerry Reed and drummer Kenneth A. Buttrey, both veterans
of Dylan's Nashville sessions. These players were not just good musicians,
but smart musicians, easily embellishing the Elliott/Valentino duo as
if they had been playing with the two for years, not days. The resulting
masterpiece, no doubt due to the awesome Brummels original songs (especially
"Cherokee Girl," "Turn Around," and "Deep Water"),
is a virtual tapestry in country and rock.
