I also bought Going Places as my first TJB recording.
I believe the excellence of that record motivated me to become a TJB fan and buy all the rest of the albums. Herb definitely was at the top of his game there, and the famous TJB sound is well exemplified on that one.
I dare say that if TBAC had been my first record instead of Going Places, I may or may not have gone further with the TJB as an artist.
I think you may have to have a greater appreciation of country music than I do to appreciate the country influence.
After all, this is all a matter of personal opinion and taste. One man's feast is another man's famine, so to speak. I don't find much feast with TBAC, but that doesn't keep someone else from "eating till full."
