"You can really hear Dylan's influence on this album. The glam hasn't really come in yet, but the piano work is amazing as always with Mott, and that Highway 61 organ sound really sounds good." Reply

"I'm amazed that no one else has put this superb album in any of their charts - unbelievable. A European psych/prog/rock masterpiece." Reply

"Some good stuff but lacking overall. It sounds like it'd be much better live. They utilize the studio efficiently in "Poem By The Sea" but everything else seems constrained by the format." Reply

"How could someone ever give a Lee Hazlewood album a 5? All of his output (solo, with Nancy Sinatra, Duane Eddy, etc) are gold. He was a master songwriter, producer, and arranger. And I hardly even like most country music. This guy is the real deal." Reply
