Reader Reviews
Only one song from this album was written by Van Dyke Parks: "The Clang of the Yankee Reaper" (which is not coincidentally the highlight of the album). However, because of his unique arrangements, and distinct voice (this is his last album when it still sounds its finest), his name is all over the other songs of this album; at times it calls to mind "Discover America", with the steel band on several songs, other times, like on the title track, it is a bit closer to "Song Cycle", but has a distinct sound from both of them, though still clearly by the same artist. Though I would recommend that you buy "Song Cycle" or "Discover America" before this album, this is not inferior to either.
