Sealed, Hard To Find 1972 Original With Custom Hype Sticker On Shrink. Clean Cut Out Hole. “With A Sound Much Like Another Capitol Recording Artist From The Day, The Band, The Self-Titled Album Debut From Underrated Songwriter Mark "Moogy" Klingman Came Shortly After He Appeared On Releases By Al Kooper, James Cotton Blues Band, And Shuggie Otis, As Well As Discs By His Friend Buzzy Linhart. "I Can Love" Has That Band Sound With A Strong Klingman Vocal; The Mood Comes Right Down For "Liz, When You Waltz," Which Is Merely Klingman's Piano And Voice Coupled With Joel Bishop O'Brien's Mandolin. It's A Great Pairing, And The Album Would Have Had Just As Much Heart And Life Had All The Tracks Received This Treatment. Instead The 12 Songs Were Recorded In Six Different Facilities, With A Full Band Kicking In For "Kindness" -- And Not Just Any Bunch Of Cats, The Musicians Were As Legendary As This Strong Material Would Turn Out To Be. Todd Rundgren, Engineer And Co-Producer, Lends His Talents On Guitar And Backing Vocals, With Amos Garrett Adding The Intentionally Brittle Lead Guitar, Stu Woods Playing The Bass, And N.D. Smart Providing The Beat. What Is Stunning About This Album Is The Amount Of Cover Versions Of These Songs That It Spawned. Johnny Winter Recorded "Kindness"; Carly Simon Included "Just A Sinner" On Her First Album; The Song Here That Todd Rundgren And Klingman Co-Wrote, "Tonight I Want To Love Me A Stranger," Found Its Way Onto A James Cotton Album; While A Klingman Original Which Had Rundgren Dueting On With Him, "Crying In The Sunshine," Got Further Validation When Thelma Houston Tracked It On One Of Her Sessions.” AMG - Joe Viglione
