Thank's. It's good to see you back again too.

But, I liked Feel the Benefit quite a lot. It certainly has a Beatlesque feel to it and I see where you're going with the Dear Prudence style intro. Of course that type of guitar playing was pretty common in the seventies, no one realized on just how influential a guitarist George Harrison was.
Anyway will listen to the whole album now. I think I mentioned I'm Not in Love in one of my earlier posts but it rates as one of my favorite songs of the seventies . They did a lot of work on getting that chorus going on that one.
Like Trolls, glad to see you back, Nea.  |
Thanks for the welcome back. Deceptive Bends might take more than one listen to sink in. It's their... And Then There Were Three ... album. Godley & Creme left by then, but it still has its moments imo.

I grew up in a full house. It was always filled with music. The J. Geils Band "Live" Full House was one of my favorite albums. Forgive me for saying this but you are finally catching up to what I knew when I was 12 ... or 11 y/o. (If you can imagine I'm like the kid in Almost Famous but without Penny Lane and without the writing skills. And also it was my next door neighbor who left me a milk crate of albums, not my older sister leaving albums under the bed. That being said, I don't like to brag how much I know. I could know a lot, or I could know a little. I really don't know.)
My dad liked Country Rock/Southern Rock, and I heard quite a bit as a kid e.g. Dixie Dregs, Molly Hatchet, Outlaws, OMD, CDB, LS, etc etc. It was always "in heavy rotation" (it's a radio term to meaning quite frequently played). I thought I knew everything about that genre, but maybe I don't. I know very little of Little Feat, like maybe one song. So I consider you recently discovering that band no small feat indeed!
