The Talbot Bros. Warner Bros. 1974
Easy To Slip
And The Time
Trail Of Tears
High-class country rock album from Mason Proffit graduates John and Terry Talbot. Less electric and kickin' than bands like the Outlaws, but more of a rootsy feel than the Eagles and all their imitators thanks to an acoustic emphasis and use of banjo, dobro, steel guitar, and harmonica. Hawaiian guitar leads grace the beautiful acoustic piece 'Trail of Tears'. Fast pickin' on hoedowners 'Comin' Home To Jesus' and 'Moline Truckin' (the latter was deleted when the album was re-issued as Reborn on the Sparrow label). Several mainstream label musicians assisting to create consistent professional sound throughout without a hint of fluff.
