What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Close to a one hit wonder for me. And the hit is here, with the title track. Alabama southern rock band with a
little r&b/funk thrown in. Not a good mixture to me. The hit single is the only thing I love here, and the three
bombs make the album a passable like. I never followed with another purchase. It is the groups highest charting
album at a weak #41. The single peaked at #10, with a follow up of Country Side Of Life at #66. Last studio album
was in 1979, but they had a live album just this year. Probably their own money at stake, cause no major is gonna go
for a live album from a group that had a hit 40 years ago. Gotta give them their due though, as the hit still lives
on in my little brain.
