Great post. I do think some of their songs warn of troubled times coming.
They are a classic Americana band. Oddly enough with all that Cajun flavor and souther accent on songs I believe they are from San Francisco (area).
Simple rock. This was after they bloomed and then became predictable. Cosmos Factory was proof they were done. Lookin’ out my back door made their music become irritating.
Got that same feeling when Cat Stevens did Oh Very Young. Went to the well too often. He was finished and made one wonder if rock was a passing fad. Gotta remember we were all very young an none of us knew if the music had staying power. Geezer rockers prove otherwise.
