I was probably 13 when I first heard this album, a teenager in Beirut. I think I once listened to the title song maybe 60 times in a row. I thought it so deep. And no, I wasn't sober.
Goodnight, all.

The thing that always strikes when re-listening to old songs is the immediacy of the voices compared to today's autotuned and enhanced voices.
Listening to Grand Funk's 'Closer To Home' following Stevie and it's the same.

Producing music for AM radio forces paring the music down to the bone. I was listening to Zep awhile ago in a store, and noticed how it was bare, no reverb.

It is on my list of long songs of that era that just kills. Good choice to play a few times.

Low Spark was one of those late night FM radio songs I loved to hear while laying in bed at night.

I still have that LP somewhere in storage. You couldn't go wrong with Traffic back then.
