Despite an intriguing intro, it's a bit lacking this one.

Is this what PJ Proby sounds like?

Or am I thinking of Gary Puckett and the Union Gap?

It is over.

It was a confident and assertive album whose first half was clearly better than its second.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

That was pretty engaging and weirdly strange in a very normal, slightly square sort of strangely weird way.

It never got dull and a few of the songs actually tried to do things a bit differently, regarding what was ostensibly a country rock album.
