What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Thought a best of set from these guys would fare better than it did. They did have a few more hits after this collection which would have raised it up I'm sure. Still three of their greats for me here. Main thing I didn't like about this band is the fact they rarely did original material. My favorite here happens to be a Paul Williams song, who could never sing a lick anyway, but wrote some great songs. The band did pick some good ones to cover. But they should have stayed away from Your Song, sacred ground. This album went to #5 on the Billboard charts. Some nice live 70's clips here.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Your Song

Best Track - Out In The Country
