I'm writing this review partially from memory. This was a favorite early 70's album, but in recent years I've only heard about half the tracks. This was RT's first statement after leaving Fairport Convention, where he pioneered revolutionary fusion of traditional ballads and rock. This album was an admirable step forward, reaching heigths that he only occasionally touched during the Richard & Linda years and only truly exceeded with Rumor and Sigh almost 2 decades later. There are some throwaways here, but the best songs are rich with humor, invention, and emotion. I haven't heard "The Old Changing Way" in 15 years, but it still moves me to tears. If any CD ever tempts me to spend $25 for an import, it would be this one.
