tompall at his whiskey-voice best, as a solo act, which is as good as country rock gets; arguably the best pure singer in the outlaw/progressive country game. most of the best songs were written by shel silverstein, who wrote so many excellent songs for various artists i've lost count. a notable exception is "i can't remember", penned by glaser himself. this collection is taken from two vinyl albums released close together in the mid-70s. it's been a long time getting to cd, but it's worth the wait; the production and musical precision is excellent, despite (or maybe becasue of?) the artist's claim that he was stoned throught the productions.

I first heard "Put Another Log on the Fire" in the mid-seventies on the radio while car pooling, and we all thought is was a good joke. For some reason, recently, the tune came to mind again, and I found this album. Well, the title song may be just something to laugh about (it is!), but Tompall Glaser is a great singer, and every single one on the songs on the album is great!

If you like Tompall Glaser, You'll love this CD. Down to earth Real Country Music. Love It!

This is one of my most favorite CDs. I play it every day almost. I intend to buy more of Tompall Glaser CDs. I thank you for the prompt delivery of my purchase.
