The history of this record sort of reminds me of Spiderland. Placing the sound in context with the release date and the label are important for understanding it's place in history. I definitely think these songs are growers but almost 40 years later it feels acceptable to me to just know about it than to put in the time to really appreciate it. I voted "loved it" out of respect but in all honesty I'm not familiar with it and not especially inclined to put much time into it. Great pick though. It's records like this that help fill in knowledge gaps for someone like me who enjoys pretending to know it all.
