A collection of Country and Western styled songs and one I always liked. Many of the songs were played on FM radio and I first heard them around 1971 or 1972. Songs like &#8220;Burn Down The Mission&#8221;,&#8221;Amoreena&#8221;,and &#8220;Ballad Of A Well Known Gun&#8221; were played quite often on WMMR. &#8220;Where To Now St. Peter ?&#8221; was one I really liked and one on one of my early mix tapes I recorded off the radio with the microphone between the headphones. The opening line always brings back memories of that time. &#8220;Love Song&#8221; one of the only songs not written by Elton and Bernie Taupin on an Elton John record was another one I liked. That was written by Leslie Duncan who also sang backup vocals on some of the songs. Rod Stewart covered &#8220;Country Comfort&#8221; on his second album around the same time. Another record I checked out from our schools record library. This is a re-issue I bought sometime,I don&#8217;t remember when. It has a 1980 copyright date on it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is his third album from 1970.
