Shit - missed the RIPs. This dude was a great player, underrated songwriter, and had a pretty cool and possibly unique sound on this records, this line between country, psych, and wall-of-sound, muffled but booming and chunky and down-home. Had no idea he wrote "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden" - that's just nuts.

I missed this, too. Damn, doesn't get his due, that's for sure.

I think, before tonight, I'd only ever heard his versions of Games People Play and Hush. Liked them a lot, but now I'm getting deeper into his catalogue and I'm drooling. Even the stuff that doesn't work works.
