EXTD=to me. With such a good voice and piano skill (he played with Freddie Kin
EXTD=g in 1971), I expected much better of him. The only song from this album 
EXTD=I like quite a bit is "Out in the Woods," which got some airplay in the s
EXTD=ummer of 1972. It has interesting jungle sounds in the intro, interesting
EXTD= call-and-response vocals throughout, and beautiful vocal harmonies at th

EXTD=nnoyed me, but "Cajun Love Song" isn't bad, since it successfully mimics 
EXTD=the sound of authentic cajun music (fiddles, folk style chords, etc.), it
