To this day, Linda's album named for this song remains my favorite. While I didn't initially like this version as well as hers, I now value them equally.
The album was produced by Jackson Bowne, featuring Don & Glenn, Lindsey & Stevie, Waddy, Phil Everly, wünderkind multi-instrumentalist David Lindley and Rosemary Butler, Bonnie Raitt, Carl Wilson, and several stellar session players - a who's who of the L.A. scene in the '70s.
I feel a bit like a plagiaristic schlub posting the same song as another, venerable, blogifier, but this is a version I really dig.
Check out the platter on that turntable! Gotta be super-low wow & flutter.
This always makes a good sing-a-long at the pub...
Are they on the set for 'Houses of the Holy'?
While I was certainly acquainted with the composer's version of this song, even back in the '70s, I always preferred this one. This is the non-airplay version with the otherworldly, trippy extended bridge.
Continuing the theme of mid-20th century musicians re-creating the magic in the 21st, I herewith present this duo. Two voices and a guitar.
Really a gem once you get past the vapid banality of the morning gabfest 'personalities'.
