This is an album I found by chance on YouTube. It is one of those albums that was recorded and canned for whatever reason. It was recorded in 1971 and then released thirty-something years later in 2004.

Twin Engine are are singer/song writers Constantine Gusias and Randy Naylor. Looking up information on it I was surprise to find to see who's on the album. For studio musicians they have Clarence White, Chris Hillman and Sneaky Pete Kleinow. Sneaky Pete was a sessions musician for The Byrds and the recording artist he record with reads like a Who's Who. The Everly Brothers, Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstadt, Eagles, The Ventures et al. I really enjoyed the album before I knew all of that. But after learning that I felt I stumbled into a really great find. The guitar playing can be intricate and layered. The harmony style is very good, and lie somewhere between The Everly Brothers and The Byrds. In fact they do a cover of the EB, When Will I Be Loved.

This is an album to hear if you like The Byrds are into The Flying Burrito Brothers. The album is a missing puzzle piece to what else was done by the members of those bands.

The Time Is Now
