Album Notes & Community Reviews

Actually recorded earlier in 1972 but shelved for contractual reasons, this album was finally released to capitalize on his mid-70s solo success. It features a robust, rootsy blend of country and folk-rock, highlighted by stellar pedal steel playing and Matthews' impeccable taste in cover material.
