    All Music Guide Review

    A long-winded title for what is essentially a trawl through the back catalog of EMI's folk-rock, country-rock, and singer-songwriters, from the '60s through the '80s (emphasis on the '60s). It's a not-bad mix of the renowned (Gordon Lightfoot, Leon Russell, Don McLean, Townes Van Zandt, Stone Poneys, Joe South), the less celebrated (the Dillards, Fred Neil, Peter Sarstedt, American Flyer, Eric Von Schmidt), and little-heard tracks by stars (Warren Zevon's "Tulies Blues," the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's 1967 minor hit single "Buy For Me the Rain"). Most off-the-wall inclusion: an instrumental version of "Eight Miles High" by the Folkswingers (actually a group of Nashville session players) that turns into a duel between banjo and fuzz guitar. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
