Title: ONLY A FEW KEEPERS HERE
Product review: Much has already been shared about the failings of this album so I won't spend much time on that other than to say that there ARE a 3 or 4 worthwhile songs.The title song, Natalia, Hungry For Your Love and perhaps Kingdom Hall or Santa Fe/Beautiful Obsession, although it's 7 minute length more than wears out it's welcome. (Some of Van's long songs work, others not so much)>Here's an interesting footnote about Santa Fe/Beautiful Obsession that I've never seen anyone point out:BOB SEGER was OBVIOUSLY listening to the song and a few years later swiped the "Let The Cowboy Ride" vocal refrain to graft onto the closing moments of "Against The Wind". Same phrasing, same song structure on the fade out.......It's a shameless dead ringer.Play 'em back to back sometime!
