Perhaps this is the duo's best album. Although, I really like "Bridge" and others. A very special phenomenon in American music. Any attempt at comparing with Crosby Stiles Nash and Young and other sweet-voiced guys and girls in cowboy boots is out of place. It was a bright comet that flashed and ... quickly disappeared from the pop-sky. But, still, it sounds very interesting!
