This will be sure to alienate some NRPS purists, but I gotta be me.  After agonizing over which would be my favorite NRPS album (and hence the first for the album review) here it is.

I have never made any bones about the fact that my personal favorite line-up was the one with Skip on bass.  As I have stated, NRPS seldom played SoCal so I was only able to see them 3 times, all in 1974 and all with Skip.  But following up a rather uninspired New Riders (the comet album) WATG was a fresh new polished sound.  With Steve Loves songwriting and beautiful vocals, this is my favorite album, just eclipsing Brujo.  Just Another Night in Reno and I Can Heal You are two of Loves best.  Additionally, the Spencer penned continuation of Henry Homegrown is a treat and Nelsons distintive vocal makes High Rollers one of my top 3 NRPS songs of all time.  If I could have only one NRPS album, this would be it.  Thankfully, that is not the case. 

Any and all comments welcomed, just keep it clean.  I try to run a blog all ages can enjoy.
