I thought that, too, for a while...but, it's definitely grown on me over the years. I would think that you'd have to understand the original genre and original songs that Jeremy parodied to really appreciate his tunes...just like "Weird Al" is only funny if you know the original versions of the songs he's parodying. Otherwise, they're just stupid songs.


"This Is The Rock"...great Gene Vincent type tune, almost can sing "Be-Bop-A-Lula" along with it...Billy Burnette should've done this one during the "Behind The Mask" tour!

"Station Man"...for the most part, Danny Kirwan's signature tune; lasted in the concert set until late in the Rumours tour.

"Blood On The Floor"...hilarious lyrics, perfect "hick" sound

"Hi Ho Silver"...another old blues/rocker that Billy could've done a great job with updating during his tenure in the band. (well, in fact Billy DID cover this one on his 1980 solo album...using it's alternate title, "Honey Hush")

"Jewel Eyed Judy"...a foresight into what to expect from Danny on subsequent albums. Would've fit seamlessly on "Bare Trees". This one was played on the "Heroes Are Hard To Find" tour.

"Buddy's Song"...a Jeremy Spencer parody of Class "A" variety; take "Peggy Sue" and made the lyrics up from Buddy Holly song titles all the way through, then give songwriting credit to Buddy Holly's mom..."Weird Al" Yankovic should be so good.

"Earl Gray"...a Danny Kirwan instrumental that had been in development stages since prior to "Then Play On" (only under the title of "Farewell")

"One Together"...didn't like this song for a long time, then one day out of the blue, I kinda liked it.

"Tell Me All The Things You Do"...Danny's attempt to keep the Peter Green vibe alive...was done as an encore tune on the Rumours tour.

"Misson Bell"...an almost verbatim cover of the 1958 hit by Donnie Brooks.
