No one could depress you faster with more beauty. (Janis Ian was a close 2nd.) Mickey was a treasure.

One of the best albums of all time! A masterpiece that sounds like no other Country album ever and it's still Country to the bone...

Best whistler ever!

THIS has only 14k LISTENS?

The production values on this album are amazing. This is a true example of the lost art of the concept album. For a country album, the subtle moody atmospherics, the ghostly background vocals and the twangy sitar sounds all seem out of place but work so well. I highly suggest listening to this with headphones on and a glass of whiskey.

Joan Baez sang two of these.

I just discovered him and this album--I'm obsessed with it. I learned of him by watching Tim Hardin at Phil Och's memorial concert (also a great performance) and someone in the comments said that was Mickey Newbury playing guitar. Can anyone confirm that? He looks so different in that clip vs. the pictures I've seen of Newbury.

Started playing this and my husband left to get my Prozac refilled.

Mickey sure knows how to right a song that touches so deep what a talent 🎼🎵🎶

Cuts me to the bone

Maybe Mickey’s best. Filled with masterpieces. And has there ever been a better lyric than: “Baby’s packed her soft things and she’s left me”?

Beautiful album. I came here to hear it after seeing it on a list of 50 greatest country albums.

Met him in 1970. Ten of us sat in a living room listening to him and his guitar do the music of this album. I still get goosebumps when I hear this masterpiece. I now at age 70 find myself with a broken heart 💔 and I’ve been listening to the Mick constantly for weeks. He touches my soul ✨💫

From the heart, thank you so much for sharing. ❤️

This album was some comfort to me age 18 not fitting in and wondering why.

My favourite rainy day music album, still have my vinyl copy of this album as part of a double album "Looks Like Rain - Live At Montezuma Hall". The production on the album is so crisp, clear and concise and the songs are brilliant. The lyrics hit home later after I appreciated the album when a relationship I had ended... Sadly Mickey passed away too soon....

❤thank you. And whatever happened to 1968, where does time and poets like Mickey go? Into our precious memories.

We like the surface noise. Thanks man.

Thanks for putting this up. If it is good enough people will go purchase the clean version.

The man is a legend, also going to say Thanks for sharing this album. 👍👍

Great album, thanks for sharing!

So much wisdom

At 10 ....over a 1000000 tears cried today we play the songs and think of the days gone by ....

Mickey is a favorite of mine, I love this album and the ability to share it. Thank you

He's got this Neil Diamond thing going on, but you know, not worn out.
