is the debut album by the group of the same name. The songs are very strong, as is the band's playing. Ron Elliot has several superb songs on here, notably "Tennessee Walker" and the excellent album closer, "Today by Day," which is sung by Sal Valentino in his most soulful and intense style. It is a surprisingly fine album, avoiding the temptation to wallow in nostalgia and also the inclination to fully contemporize the band's sound. Which isn't to say that the group didn't update their music; the engineering is very clean, the arrangements lightly softened, and some of the guitars adopt a then-contemporary tone.
