The Best Songs of the 1970's

I was far too young to have any appreciation of them, but revisiting them has been fun. I notice that Porter more often than not sang harmony under Dolly's lead. The Wagon Masters were pretty tight.
They made some good music. Her star got brighter than his, and when she decided to leave in 1974 to make music on her own, he sued for break of contract. I think she did have to pay.

And Neil had the electricity.

Yeah...sometimes...lol. He did a lot of stuff that just passed me by, and I often found his guitar leads as annoying as Dickie Betts. But he also hit a lot of dingers [ home runs]. I have one Neil release in my 'must have' collection. If you can guess on the first try what it is, it's worth a pack of BBB beans. :)

Three hints. 1, It's not a live album 2. It's not with any of CS&N 3. My copy is on cassette.

Let me think a minute.

This is tough. I haven't listened to so much Neil Young in years. And trying to put myself in @Amos Otis's ears, so to speak, is more exercise than this old head is used to.

But anyway, I figure it has to be an album that is not like most of the others. Maybe a toss up between new wave and county. I've heard you posting more country than new wave, so. . . . .

1985's Old Ways. . . .

I used to made tall grass short in exchange for money. One of my yards had a weird side yard that was roughly shaped like Florida. Even had a notch where the Georgia/Alabama line would be. I always sang Mainline Florida to myself as I cut the grass there. {and thought about the effects of sea level rise as I went. There was a blueberry bush that when cut around, would represent the Glades filling up with sea water} (warning: hiking and cutting grass can lead to too much thought)

Ha. That riff and song is like 'let's get up and do this". Good stuff to put on when your working.. filling pots with soil,transplanting or dirty work.
A fun song to play on the guitar too.
