Only just noticed that this journal exists! It seems like a great resource for discovering obscure albums from 40 or so years ago. So far, Fushia is the only name I recognize so I'm enjoying the exploration....

The Apple track you highlighted, The Outsider, has a wonderful, biting guitar running through it, as do other tracks, like Buffalo Billycan. And I'm glad you mentioned Rock Me Baby, my favourite so far. As the vocalist says, "Nice!"

I was listening to some Flying Burrito Brothers last weekend, so I was curious about Twin Engine, but a little disappointed by The Time Is Now, mainly on account of the vocals. Too much Everly Brothers and not enough Sneaky Pete imo. As for the Flying BBs themselves, I really like Hot Burrito#2, but can live without most of their material, tbh.

Anyway, I'm going to move on to some of the other intriguing-looking albums that you've covered here, so I hope you keep this journal going Neapolitan. Your reviews are concise, but very useful, especially your specific track picks.
Keep up the good work, and thanks.
