The group's first album is also their most successful rock effort, an ebullient country-rock collection that sounds a lot like
the Flying Burrito Brothers of around the same period, with richer production and more of a sense of humor than
the Burritos had, and highlighted by some excellent songs ("Country Girl," "Road to Glory," "If You Wanna Get to Heaven").
Randle Chowning's "Country Girl," in particular, is amazing as a harmonica-driven near-twin of
the Eagles' "Take It Easy" that you sort of wish ran for ten minutes instead of just three.
Steve Cash's jew's harp/harmonica showcase "Chicken Train" brings the band back to its roots. ~ Bruce Eder
