Dang, first I've seen TYA mentioned in ages. I had Cricklewood Green on the other day.

I loved Cricklewood Green. I had it on 8-track tape that shifted tracks in the middle of songs. Those were the days.

A spillover from my son's current playlist ... It's like Quentin Tarantino having a bad dream with Glen Campbell in it - with a shot of Adam Green in it for good measure.





He has that Adam Green approach to music - an obviously encyclopedic knowledge of musical styles and mannerisms that seemingly fell out of favor a long time ago.

Nice '69 Caddy in that vid, I used to have a Firemist Red Coup de Ville, it drove much like a booth at Denny's.

That is a LOVELY turn of phrase!!  It communicates very clearly.

Bought an 8 CD Box of their work ("The Polydor Years"), I never had a clear grasp of what they were doing, so it was about time. To me they are like an East Coast Steely Dan (or Doobies), the Southern Rock influence is almost negligible IMHO, some of the guitar riffs are southernish in places.

I don't know a lot about ARS either, but I've always liked what I've heard. I can see the Doobies comparison. Might have to check out some stuff online. And let's not forget that Paul Goddard played bass on a Kerry Livgren song with RJD on vocals, who of course sang for....

Goddard plays his Ric nicely. Constantly melodic (with a not very Ric'ish sound at all), yet unobtrusively.

Listening to Connie Smith today since it's her 78th birthday. This clip is from 7 years ago.
