Triangle has been oversold as a "Summer of Love masterpiece", but Bradley's Barn has a bunch of great songs and performances and isn't too "country-rock", if that scares off any potential listeners.

okay, sold, gotta check it all out, going by this:I don't think Bradley's Barn is country-rock the way the Byrds and Clarence White and the Gosdins are country-rock. Although the album does utilize Nashville musicians (but zero pedal steel), it's more of a merger of country-inspired folk-pop and Tin Pan Alley/Broadway (that's the key). Elliott was more like a psychedelic Jerome Kern in the vein of Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks and Randy Newman. In this sense Bradley Barn, along with Triangle (which I think is better), have more in common with Pet Sounds, 12 Songs and Song Cycle than Sweetheart of the Rodeo or Fantastic Expedition of...I only mention this because I often see the Brummels later LPs compared to late-60s Byrds, Gosdins, and so on. And I just think the Brummels can be easily lumped into that scene.

Also this has got me wanting to hear it all:Sal Valentino is like Lee Hazlewood mixed with Gene Clark. What a voice.

Even if, as some of yall say, he got too or more mannered later, goes with the territory, and I wouldn't want Hazlewood to try to be unpretentious, doesn't suit him.
