Nothing astounding to report, really. It's just that I listened to RISE this afternoon in the car. I was so struck with "Behind The Rain," that I played it over and over again. What a 'feel good' song! This was definitely a new start for Herb. The beginning of a new era, a new direction, a new sound.
MAGIC MAN was just as sensational (IMHO).
As a matter of fact, I remember the day I bought the album. I was visiting friends in St. Pete, Florida. We went to the mall, I saw MAGIC MAN on the shelf, bought it and headed home. The mall was surrounded by a downward-angled berm over which, in a moment of 'Skinner' clumsiness, I managed to fall head-over-heels...the album went flying into the street. A car drove right over the top if it!
We took the damaged record back to the store. The manager took one look at my bleeding knee, my ripped shorts, the grass stains on my shirt and said, "No one could be so stupid as to make up something like this...I'll replace the album for you!"
Always an adventure!
