Really an incredible album that gets virtually zero mentions in any book, catalog or website. Extremely small pressing from 1975. Dave went on to record a Xian folk LP for Word out of Waco in the early 80s that has a few reworkings of songs on this LP, but honestly that album is pretty horrible.  This album is a mega grower and I find it to be one of my favorite rural folk rock LPs of any I've come across, there are songs on here which almost remind me of Elliott Smith stuff, and the most obvious comparison is a lo-fi James Taylor with more aggressive drums and some nice electric keys. But comparisons aside, for getting practically zero results on google (aside from my blog), this LP is quite beautiful, and I hope the sound clip does it justice. It's not in the greatest condition sadly, but it plays quite well throughout surprisingly. \/   


****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
   Vinyl: VG- to VG ( There are numerous hairline scratches, none are very deep but there are a lot on both sides, most are very light with a few a bit more moderate level. This causes some audible crackling in differing frequency/amount throughout the LP, But it plays better than it looks.  I included portions of most of the tracks for you to hear what I'm talking about in the sound clip.  I'd probably grade the sound a VG to VG+ in 70% of the album, the other 20% VG++ and 10% VG.)  ^Listen to Sound Clip

Jacket/Label: VG+  (Jacket is in nice shape but has some general wear and has a noticeable mark up in the corner, about a square inch, from where a sticker was, its left some residue and coloration. has some ring wear on the front and a couple spots of mild discoloration, but the edges are really nice and the back is really nice too.)
