As we know the idea of a country album, following the success of SMILE, was briefly considered.
Personally, I'd have loved one. . . most of my favourite cuts of theirs have a lilting country feel. In some ways it's not too dissimilar to what the Birds and Flying Burrito Brother did with Sweetheart of the Rodeo and Gilded Palace of Sin. . . .a marriage of rock/pop with country sensibilities, though obviously with our duo it'd be on the softer side of things.
What about you guys? Would you have preferred another straight ahead pop album, or something a little left field with country.
Come to think of it, that would have been a truly eclectic triptic of music. . .'77's Passage, '78's Portrait, and '79's Country Album.
Oh, and any fun suggestions of what they would have called it.
Looking forward to hearing from you
