A Viable Effort / 4
As a McGuinn/Byrds fan and Rick player of many years, I was obligated to buy this CD if only to prevent a hole in my collection. However, it was money well-spent, without doubt. The material is strong, as are most of Roger's performances; and where he gets help, the help comes through.
My one issue with this album is that it is heralded as full of the "jingle-jangle" of the Rickenbacker, and I disagree. First of all, I've always detested the term 'jingle-jangle;' it's just too cute a term for such a magic sound. Second, the album does not jingle OR jangle - the guitar on this is so compressed that it sounds more like a vacuum cleaner drone than Roger's signature sound. In my opinion, I would like to see him rediscover the Turn, Turn, Turn sound. But then, I would also like to see him discover me as his producer. . .
Song "Going To The Country"
Look out the window, what do I see?
Cows hangin' out under spreading trees.
Zoom! They're gone behind the sign
White letters pointing to the long white line
and I'm going to the country
O, la la la la la
I'm going to the country
Sunshine smile on me
I can smell the grass growing in the field
Wind in my hair tells me how it feels
Farm house, silver roof flashing by
Tractor-trailer truck says goodbye with a sigh
And I'm going to the country
O, la la la la la
I'm going to the country
Sunshine smile on me
Birds singing, I'm singing in my bones
Doesn't much matter now where I'm going
Get it when I get there is what I'll do
If I get enough I'll give some to you
And I'm going to the country
O, happy as can be
I'm going to the country
Sunshine smile on me
