I wore this album out around 1971...we played it over and over again, especially Love Song. I was recently brought to tears hearing Love Song in the end credits of an episode of Mrs Maisel, and have been obsessed listening to it like I did in college. DAMN!! Absolutely hauntingly beautiful harmonies, the entire song is perfect. Thanks for having the whole album here!!

A classic among classics! Epic concept album, couldn't be more authentic to what seems like true Antebellum. Kick back in the front porch swing and sail into the past! TY TY TY!!

My brother committed suicide on June 22, 2022 and the gun was my Dad's, that's why this song will always be close to my heart ❤️
