This was a strange record to place. It's sort of blues, sort of folk, sort of psychedelic. It would be hard to place it if you didn't know the year the album came out. There's a fair amount of once-loved musical devices like organs, saxophones, and gospel-ish background singers that makes it somewhat sixties, but it still stands along.
I listened to this while working on other things, so I didn't give it my fullest attention and found that it was halfway though again before I noticed it was repeating. I found it soulful and got more into it as the record wore on. All in all, it wasn't necessarily memorable, but it was enjoyable.
Favorite songs: "Finding Her," "Sweet Release," "I'll Be Long Gone."
Would listen to: If I wanted to listen again to actually remember any songs!
Notes:
- The slightly nerd, sideburns-y guy on the cover doesn't quite match the music.
- The YouTube video for "Waiting for a Train" has just one comment: "Damned good yodeling, Boz."
