Great For Collectors of Early LA Rock/Country

"I really liked the mellow nature of this music when somehow I first heard it way back in 1971. Larry Murray was the founder of the early group Hearts and Flowers and was really in touch with the early LA experimentation with infusing country into folk and rock. Though groups from the Byrds to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band experimented and/or worked hard to develop that genre it was The Eagles who finally hit the big home run.Back to the music, I particularly like the haunting Nora's Boy - it contains some unexplained autobiographical words that leave you wondering.... All That I Need Is A Friend also stands out but you will probably like all the tunes.Just remember, this is early 70's instrumentation so lower your sights a little and enjoy a real obscure yet wonderful part of LA music history."
