So stark at times, with no turning back but to turn to salt for doing so. So, is this album: drawing me so near to that time and place,yet so far as I lavish in its rhythmic episodes, overcome by the very feelings that created it, the angst and the changes, the pity, the anger, the lost and lonely, the loves lost forever. Like when I delicately feel over a significantly tangible artifact or antique from a past era gone by, or lands half a world away, drawing from it the feelings, the moods, the attitudes of that land or that time. What an album: exuding, hammering and BLASTING OUT the genre & nuances that have indelibly become CALIFORNIA over the decades. OMG, it was old home week for me! Reunited at last! Years later, or, just recently, I acquired another one. I would 'jones' for the entire album after catching an occasional song on radio that was a publicly popular piece.
I listened to it often and LOVED so much about it, including what I was to learn LATER of HOW it came about and the effort, upheaval and turmoil that went into its production. I kept an identical CD of this around for what seemed like forever. One of a kind so dyed in the wool California.
