Love this album, it used to be a well-played favourite back in the old days and it has stayed with me, even if it's only in my head. Ahhh, the wonders of the web
I like to joke with people who've never heard of this band (and there's plenty of 'em) that these good ol' boys really had their Country-Rock down to a t, then I tell 'em that these good ol' boys were British. Some of the funniest lyrics no other Country-Rock band ever came up with ("Only barefoot librarians become vegetarians", "Everybody's readin' and I got no shoes on my feet/and that's a lot of lines to repeat."). If only their record companies hadn't been so inept at promotin' 'em.
I love this album - heard them on OGWT - then went and bought it. That's Chas Hodges singing (everybody's hustlin'), good bassist too. Funny how he 'went cockney' with Chas & Dave. I saw Them at Dingwall's, late 70's
@madaxemanbeer My copy's long gone, sadly - lost everything I own.Twice. I was able to get the second album "Tracks", which is a killer - and "Home from Home" which was meant to be the 1st album but shelved (albeit all finished and ready to release) when the line-up changed. HFH is all Colton/Smith compositions and is highly recommended - Great Stuff. Ray Smith's instrumental versatility and ideas, as a core player, finessed CH and AL's versatility in turn. A very multi-talented, unique band.
My family song!! Played at christmas, weddings and basically any family get together! Love it!

Me too - straight down to Bruce's records next morning. Been in love ever since.
Chas is a wonderful musician - not just bass - fiddle, guitar, banjo and of course piano. He was right in at athe start with Joe Meek.
