It's why I love it so much. It's that roots country sound mixed with a little psychedelia and flower-child melodicism (like One Tin Soldier or Teresa Kelly's Johnnie from the Billy Jack soundtrack, or Fleetwood Mac's own World Turning, Over My Head, The Chain, I Don't Want to Know, and That's All for Everyone).

It's the Fleetwood Mac image of the inner-sleeve photo of Rumours—the Fleetwood Mac of cutoffs, wine bottles, suede boots, beards, and greasy facial skin.
Those are some SERIOUSLY imaginative & accurate descriptions David!
