I fished this out of the cutout rack because of the radio song (´Trouble´). I had to listen to it a few times before it made sense. But every year I like it better. Alternatively weepy and acerbic, just about every track packs some kind of punch. Wouldn´t Paul McCartney have loved to have written ´Shadow of the West´? Buckingham played most of the parts and made ample but effective use of studio gimmickry. And he´s a genuine wizard of six string instruments. Songs like ´Mary Lee Jones´ and ´That´s How We Do it in LA´ are goofy and edgy at the same time. I listened to his later records but didn´t encounter quite the same creativity that led to this gem.
