Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing David Gates' unparalleled knack for pristine melodic hooks, the Los Angeles quartet's fourth release is a definitive cornerstone of the 1970s soft rock boom. The immaculate studio craftsmanship balances lush, string-drenched acoustic ballads鈥攊ncluding the massively successful title track and 'Everything I Own'鈥攚ith occasional forays into upbeat, polished pop-rock.
