They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7
Active compensatory factors: I have a soft spot for Reprise Records and for John Sebastian, so when I visited the excellent Electric City Music recently (shout out to Dean Marden!!) and saw a copy of Tarzana Kid, I couldn't resist.

It's a superb collection of low-key lovely songs. If Americana was a genre back in 1974 this would have been huge!
The musicianship on it is fantastic, thanks to Sebastian and guests like Emmylou Harris, Lowell George, Milt Holland, The Pointer Sisters, Jim Gordon, David Grisman, David Lindlay, Ry Cooder, and Phil Everly.
This is a really under-appreciated album. I played it over and over again when I got it home. It just got better and better. Thanks again to Dean!
