Album Notes Personnel includes: Arlo Guthrie (vocals, guitar); Linda Ronstadt (vocals); Ry Cooder, Clarence White, Spooner Oldham, Chris Ethridge, Jim Dickinson, Hoyt Axton, Nick DeCaro, Doug Dillard, Wilton Felder, Jim Keltner. This 1972 album was Arlo Guthrie's fifth, and continued his confident move from humorous troubadour (ALICE'S RESTAURANT) to one of the finest of the early practitioners of country-rock. After the gorgeous WASHINGTON COUNTY, which featured numerous originals, this time out Arlo focused almost exclusively on other people's material. The album yielded one of his few chart hits with Steve Goodman's "City Of New Orleans." The sessions were produced by Lenny Waronker and John Pilla and feature such guests as Linda Ronstadt, Clarence White, Ry Cooder, Spooner Oldham, Jim Dickinson, and Chris Ethridge. This strong album and its predecessor gave Guthrie all the foundation he needed to create a true high peak with LAST OF THE BROOKLYN COWBOYS the following year.
Editorial Reviews ...Spirited production, intriguingly off-balance arrangements and especially well chosen material combine here to synthesize a genuine modern folk epic...He does a beautiful job, and one that really deserves to be heard... Rolling Stone (07/20/1971)
[T]he album reads like a California folkie who's who... Dirty Linen
