 Review
His previous three LP's were not issued here in Canada so this became his first Canadian release since early 1972. It was recorded in Nashville with several notable musicians including David Briggs on keyboards, Lonnie Mack on guitar, David MacKay on bass and Weldon Myrick on steel and dobro. It starts off well with the playful “Rio” complete with sound affects, background singers and party atmosphere. This song was apparently a minor hit in the U.K. but in North America, to my knowledge, it was almost unplayed. Pity! It’s become a Nesmith classic of sorts. “Casablanca Moonlight” is a surprisingly moody piece that I like quite a bit but “More Than We Imagine” struck fear in my heart upon hearing a somewhat sneaky disco intro before it settled into a fairly normal, yet uneventful, Nesmith groove. Next he tackles the Roy Rogers’ classic “Along The Navajo Trail”. Anyone familiar with him knows of his penchant for cowboy songs and this one does not disappoint. It brings it into the 1970’s without it sounding dated, no mean feat. “We Are Awake” is an edgy and surprisingly bluesy piece, “Love’s First Kiss” is a tuneless song but with romantic wordy imagery and “The Other Room” is an uptempo country number that closes out the LP. Some of the stiffness of “The Prison” still remains in this recording. It’s a saw-off really. The overall quality of the songs is not quite what we had from the RCA Victor LP’s, however the fidelity and musicianship is far better. This is not his finest hour but it’s still a solid record.
