About this deal
Of the ballads, "Drift Away" must rank as one of his most pointless covers especially as Dobie Gray's hit version was still a recent memory. "It's Not The Spotlight" and "Still Love You" both unconvincingly attempt to reintroduce the mandolin to his sound which so characterised earlier hits. "I Don't Want To Talk About It" is a sensitive cover of a lesser-known Crazy Horse tune and became one of his signature songs although it wasn't released as a single until partnering the next album's "The First Cut Is The Deepest" as a double A-side over a year later.

The original UK Burbank label (CBS pressings) also had a second limited edition run pressed on orange vinyl.
Wouldn't we all rather have heard an album recorded with the MGs (who make an appearance) than the session musicians he replaced them with? I know I would have. Salaverri, Fernando (September 2005).
