This is a definitive 20-song collection of Roger McGuinn's solo work for Columbia following the breakup of
The Byrds in 1973. The LPs Roger McGuinn,
Peace on You,
Roger McGuinn and Band and
Thunderbyrd are long out of print, but their highlights are all collected here for the first time in this long overdue collection. Guests throughout include
David Crosby, Bob Dylan, Mick Ronson, Buddy Emmons, Rob Stoner, and Howie Wyeth. Songs include "My New Woman," "The Water Is Wide," "Lover of the Bayou," as well as
Dylan's "Up to Me" and
Tom Petty's "American Girl" -- which is ironic, as it is McGuinn covering
Petty who is basically covering McGuinn to begin with. ~ Roundup Newsletter, All Music Guide
