Enlightened Draw:
There is some excellent music here although sadly not every cut. There's a well known picture of the band just wasted out of their minds circulating on the web but I didn't have the heart to post that one. Distractions tempered their focus. What we have here are two ABB releases from the band spanning four years 1975-1979. I bought them both when they came out.
Together if cherry picking tracks you can make a brilliant world changing disc. I often thought they should combine the tracks and reissue like Dickey did with his Great Southern and Atlanta Burning efforts.
Okay so what would be my "world changing" set list and order of tracks on my newly titled Enlightened Draw ABB album? I put some thought into this and they mix well together. The album kicks off strong and the change of pace tracks keep everything fresh. Unfortunately the first title is eerily poignant and unintended but we soldier on now don't we!
Can't Take It With You
Need Your Love So Bad
Can't Lose What You Never Had
Win Lose or Draw
Crazy Love
Pegasus
Just Ain't Easy
Nevertheless
High Falls
Sail Away
That's an hour of great vintage ABB. Including Sail Away definitely marks me a sentimentalist. Tastes may and will vary and much has been written in the comment sections alone on Amazon about the merits of both of these albums. Culled from both efforts and in and among all the tracks are some great tunes, beautiful, sincere playing and some of the old fire and honesty we have come to expect. Don't over look these two efforts.
