McGuinness Flint - Rainbow (1973 uk, splendid county classic rock, 2020 korean remaster)



Third album for McGuinness Flint, titled "Rainbow", released in September 1973. It features individual compositions by Tom McGuinness “High Again,” with a country feel, “Bye Bye Baby” a piano-heavy ballad, Lou Stonebridge's “Rocking Chair,” pedal steel guitar driven rockin' beat, “Dear Folks at Home” a honky tonk hybrid. The album also includes one song each by Hughie Flint “If You Love Me” hello pedal steel, we already know each other, Jim Evans cajun “This Song” with Harmonica and banjo and handclapping in a quick tempo. Evans again co-wrote the true rocker “Berry Blue Tuesday” with Dean, who co-wrote the opening track “Ride On My Rainbow” with outside partner McGann.
