Former member of Joyous Noise, singer songwriter multi instrumentalist Marc McClure, released this solo effort in 1972 with the help of many friends like Ron Elliott (fron The Beau Brummels fame), Dan Levitt, Robin Batteau (Appaloosa, Batteaux) and Spooner Oldham among others.
McClure delivers haunting and highly complex lyrics with impressive, deep tonal effects. Best cuts "Guitar Boy" a baroque folk shape, "Goodbye Song" a progressive country, "Delinga De Matte!", a blues based tune, "Good Old Days" which has a lot of folk rock flavor. Brass and strings in jazzy and baroque tapestry.
