"Delightful, faultless beauty (ok, apart from Gary Duncan missing the high note in The Fool) but maybe the most elegant album in Rock history. San Francisco truely must have been a very beautiful place to be."  Reply

"No matter how great a musician or band may be, everyone, with very few exceptions, makes an ok album. Dr. John is absolutely a music legend in the blues scene. His music is great, his album “Gris-Gris" is one of the best you’ll ever hear. However this album is not. See, the issue with this album ..."  [+]  Reply

"Damn! These first 2 Hardin albums just hit the sweet spot, don't they? Painfully short (this is 27 min, Tim Hardin 2 is 23 min), perfectly balanced between introspective and downright poetic tracks and blues rockers, and they feature obviously truly excellent and soulful vocals by the man himself..."  [+]  Reply
