I initially picked this up when traveling in Southern California in the early 1970s. The music was the original, very tight, and magical. I’ve recently played this LP again and it remains a classic for the era and is still fresh. Wonderful, masterfully played compositions with beautiful vocals and guitar.
Rated 5 out of 5

This single most under-appreciated album of the ’70s. A superb record. I still play the vinyl all the time.

This is one of my all time favorites with its tight harmonies and superb acoustic guitar work. The rhythm and lead guitars interweave magically throughout this whole album. These guys were totally underrated for the quality of music they created on their three albums. Still on my regular listening rotation to this day.

Found Batdorf and Rodney by accident while looking up some other music. Have been listening to cuts off of the various CD’s. What a fabulous duo. I wish I had found them back in the day. Clive Davis is an idiot. These guys were perfection. With the guitar work and harmonies, they should have been BIG. Its too bad they were not given the proper support and distribution. I am hooked some 50+ years too late.

I inherited this album from my brother. He and his best friend were Buffalo Springfield and Crosby Stills & Nash followers, always looking for advanced and interesting guitar work and they found it in this jewel in 1971. If you play guitar this is an album that brings the best of acoustic guitar of that period into your home or car. But is is alot more than this. The song meanings are deeply personal, spirtual and young at heart, exploringly all kinds pathos. A meaningful well thought out album. If an artist is given only once chance to cut an album and none other, to express all of which we name as supreme talent and artistic mastery, this album is it.
