Album Review:

So yeah, this 1966 release is solely imbedded in sacharrine mellow folksy country music. The only track I'd even remotely consider adding to my hot rod playlist would be 'Top Five'; not because it's good, but purely as a pallette cleanser. Other listenable moments are the backing vocals on 'Pit Stop' and the light fuzztone on 'Stock Car Blues'. It's a shame, too, because some of these songs are well written, and if there had been an inkling of rock music, it might be recommendable. 

​

As she stands, though, my advice is to skip this one - even if it's looking at you from the dollar bin...
