This album has been missing from the catalog for many years. Like John Ford's "The Searchers", it's a seminal work, influencing others over the years. When you listen, you hear things that sound like other artists - that sounds like Lyle Lovett, this sounds like Jimmy Buffett, that sounds like J.J. Cale, this sounds like Robert Earl Keen, but then you look at the date and find that this collection was published in 1972, and these other folks sound like Willis Alan Ramsey.The production values are not as of 1999, but the creativeness and talent are ageless. If you are a fan of 'country rock', or progressive country, or Texas music, or anything along those lines, this is for you. (P.S. I'm married to a Dallas woman, if you know what I mean, although I'm not from Texas.)
