Nice Baby And The Angel
Mint 1973 White Label Original With Promo Song Hype Sticker And Custom "Outlaw Man" Sticker On Cover. Features Graham Nash, Terry Adams, Dave Mason, Glenn Frey, David Lindley And Others. “Under Nash's Aegis, And With Sidemen Including Guitarist Dave Mason And Multi-Instrumentalist David Lindley, And Additional Background Singers Mason, Glenn Frey Of The Eagles, And Jennifer Warren, Blue Is Brought Into The Southern California Rock Fold Of Country-Inflected Singer/Songwriter Music À La Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young And Jackson Browne. The Changeover Is Apparent Right At The Start With The Rocking Lead Off Track "Outlaw Man." (The Song Was Quickly Taken Up By The Eagles As Appropriate For Their Desperado Concept Album And Released By Them As A Singles Chart Entry). Mason Makes Himself Felt Right Away With An Electric Guitar Solo That Runs Right Through The Song. Anchored By Nash's Keening Tenor, The Background Vocals Considerably Sweeten This And Other Songs. Another Potential Single Is "True To You," Which Is Reminiscent Of The First Edition Hit "But You Know I Love You," While The Catchy "Darlin' Jenny" Makes Lots Of Room For Lindley's Slide Guitar Work. "On Sunday, Any Sunday," Features An Arrangement For Two Acoustic Guitars Augmented By Lindley's Violin And Viola And Terry Adams' Cello. "Yesterday's Lady" And "Troubadour Song" Boast Similar Instrumentation, And The Latter In Particular Is More Characteristic Of The Old Blue With Its Downcast, Introspective Lyrics. Otherwise, Blue's Words Are Somewhat Less Personal And Involved Than Usual, Although His Outlook Is Much The Same As Ever, Expressing The Views Of A Lonely, Sensitive Man Who Encounters Love But Doesn't Retain It. As He Puts It In The Album-Closing "Train To Anaheim," "I'm Still On The Road/I Can't Be Satisfied." Thanks To Nash, Nice Baby And The Angel Dresses Such Sentiments In Highly Accessible Musical Garb.”William Ruhlmann, AMG.
