...America covered the song in 1973...

Those are some great vocal harmonies right there!

Was driving to spring break with a couple of my buddies during college.  One of them handed me a cassette tape and I tossed it in and America's Muskrat Love started playing.  That tape got immediately tossed out the window.  ha2ha

Its just me, but I never cared for that song.

Well, I liked the song when it came out.  We had 8-track tapes at the time though.  :)  But hey, it was 1973!

I liked The Captain And Tennille's cover when it was released.  How can anyone resist Toni's Tennille's smile?  And so I rediscovered America's version.  I'm still fond of the song today.

I don't like to categorize and rank when it comes to music, Andres. 

I do like doing those categorizations and rankings, I think it's fun. But when I listen to music I don't think about that. For instance, today I've listened to Jefferson Airplane's Crown Of Creation and really enjoyed Kaukonen's guitar; I didn't stop and think "oh, Clapton would have done that better". And when I say that Clapton is better I don't mean to underestimate Kaukonen (who is actually one of my favorite guitarists) but to acknowledge Clapton as one of the best among the best guitarists. I think the same about Casady among the bassists.

Thanks nimrod! I liked the hypnotic melody and the sound of drums; and that organ captured my attention. Lovely song, somehow it reminds me to Traffic.

Here I bring something for you. I know you love Cream's psychedelic blues-based music, so maybe you'd also enjoy these songs by Jefferson Airplane. They are two of the few songs that lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen wrote and sang in the group, from the albums After Bathing At Baxter's (1967) and Crown Of Creation (1968). They include virtuous guitar and bass playing.

Of course Jorma Kaukonen was not Eric Clapton; but Jack Bruce was not Jack Casady! :)

Thanks Hombre I like both of those, Star Track being my favourite,  I'm a sucker for a Moody growling bass line and I seem to be appreciating more laid back music as I get older :)

Okay, this one's for Kevin who I know has heard it before. 

The Captain And Tennille had a big hit with Muskrat Love in 1976...

Thanks Barry you know I'm a fan of America and they're great harmonies
Produced by George Martin no less :)
Muscat is the only song the trio recorded that they didn't write I think.

Right, Kev.  I knew you'd get a kick out of hearing that song again.   The Captain And Tennille's cover sort of eclipsed America's version in music history.  It's a nice song that America took and added their magnificent vocal harmonies to.  I'm glad they did.

Todd, I hope that cassette didn't have this version of Lonely People on it.


Hit it!

I've selected this for in my life, this little medley was their nod to abbey road, they were huge beatle fans.......America need no introduction of course.

Hope you enjoy Kelley  icon_good

Came across this one the other day and thought of Nimrod.  They are from Youngstown Ohio which is pretty close to me and they have some prog elements throughout the album.  This particular song reminds me of a cross between the Moody Blues and some early Floyd.  Not sure if your familiar with them, but I present - Glass Harp

Two songs for tkitna. They're from one of the earliest rock groups from Argentina: Almendra, a very creative band including slight psychedelic elements. These were their first two singles, released in 1968:

Wow George, great stuff.  Instantly reminded me of early 70's McCartney.  I'm going to seek out more of them.
