Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This is the first time this album has been released on cd by Rising Son Records, Arlo's private label. It has been out of print entirely for several years. Recently this was digitally remastered to meet the highest standards. This classic album is still fresh and enduring. The songs range from folk roots like Woody Guthrie's "Oklahoma Hills" and John Hurt's "Creole Belle" to Arlo's Woodstock anthem, "Coming In To Los Angeles" and his rocker, "Running Down The Road". For those who had this on LP it will be coming home to an old friend. New listeners will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best., October 11, 2005

By	James E. Duckworth "oahu-street" (Clinton, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I originally purchased this recording on vinyl and eventually repurchased it on CD. The songs range from highly original folk-rock compositions like Running Down The Road and Coming Into Los Angeles, to moving ballads like Oh, In The Morning. Two highlights are Arlo's rendition of Oklahoma Hills, composed by his father, and the ethereal Living In The Country. The remaining songs are also excellent in their own right and feature some superb instrumental accompaniment by Pete Seeger and a young Ry Cooder. My personal favorite is My Front Pages, which has a strong Dylan influence. This is one of those recordings which grows on you slowly but which leaves a lasting impression. I've had it for more than 18 years and I still enjoy hearing it.
