Free Music Review: Unsung classic
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been looking for this album on CD for years. As soon as I put it in my CD player and the first strains of "Ridin' Thumb" came on, it was as if I had just listened to it yesterday. If all you know about Seals & Crofts is "Summer Breeze," "Hummingbird," or any of their other radio hits, you could be forgiven for wondering what my excitement is all about. But you see, before they became purveyors of syrupy -- though better than average -- pop tunes, these guys rocked. Or perhaps I should say the rockin' songs rocked and the mellow tunes were hauntingly beautiful. While their first release was excellent, this one was their high point, in my opinion. It's vibrant, alive, and musically satisfying from start to finish. And, while the CD cover doesn't say it's been digitally remastered, it surely must be, because it sounds fantastic. I agree with the reviewer who said that "side two" rules, but "side one" comes awfully close. Still, I can't begin to count the hours I spent playing "side two" as a lad of 15, loving every minute of it, but anticipating the magnificent "Leave" that closes this masterpiece of an album. I went on to become a professional musician and got into jazz and generally more sophisticated music, but this pop-rock gem remains one of my favorite albums of all time (some of my other faves from this era include Donovan's "Open Road," Spirit's "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus," Simon and Garfunkel's "Bookends," and Laura Nyro's "New York Tendaberry"). Too bad these guys didn't keep going in this direction, but hey, they found a pot of gold with the Top 40 stuff, so more power to them. But I just bet this is their favorite Seals & Crofts album; it sure is mine.

One of the most request catalogs for CD reissue we have ever had is the Seals & Crofts catalog. This duo consisting of Jim Seals & Dash Crofts had numerous charting albums in the 1970's. We are now proud to present pretty much their entire catalog of albums, beginning with their first eponymous album from 1969, all the way through their last charting album, "Takin' It Easy" from 1978.Pop Music CDs
