Genre: Country rock
Places I remember: Vinyl Countdown
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Congress Alley
Gear costume: It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
Active compensatory factors: I'm very fond of country rock bands. They usually have a high degree of honesty, and their sound is often easy on the ear.

That genre, and the fact that this came out in 1972 and was on the Vanguard label, made me ignore the terrible cover and take a punt (the same day I punted on Captain Matchbox actually).
It's okay. Nothing too special. The boys play well and are sincere (there are a couple of 'Jesus is my main man' type songs among this set), but it's all a teensy bit flat and uninspired. That's maybe a bit harsh because this is a pleasant album with some catchy songs played well.
Main vocalist Norman Schell has a smooth voice but it's not particularly distinctive.
The fact that this isn't on Spotify tells a story.
Where do they all belong? Sometimes punts work out, sometimes they don't part 25ish.
