You continue to amaze me with your posts! As I said in another thread, we gotta be brothers from another mother. ;)

I remember hearing this tune back in the '70s and thinking this band was a combination of the Allman Brothers and The Moody blues, as bizarre as that sounds. 😂 Bought the album the next day after I heard it on the radio.

This album was _such_ a welcome break from the disco bullshit that was overwhelming Miami in the '70s.

... with a touch of era-appropriate quasi-disco and some jazz influences. The era of Herbie JHancock and Pablo Cruise, et al.

We had some of their music on the off-grid homestead farm I worked and lived on in the northern UP of Michigan before moving to the Yukon Territory at age 18.

We had a Pioneer Super Tuner cassette stereo in the 1910 cedar log cabin, another in the barn, and one on the 1953 or 1958 Ford 8N tractor.

I can remember fairly clearly working on building the rather large barn with the lumber we'd milled at a neighbor's large old-school diesel-powered sawmill in the tiny town/village we were nearest to, and as we worked, having that tune and others, the Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, Ozark Mtn Daredevils, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, and many more coming out of the various stereos. Jojo, (who'd been Army Infantry in an APC 'turret' in SE Asia when the draft people finally caught up with him after avoiding them for 3 years, bouncing from Corpus Christi, Texas and coastal Louisiana aeras, as a merchant marine, often fishing crab, shrimp, etc., then getting another draft notice and getting an AACON Auto Drive-Way vehicle and heading to Virgina, where he was originally from, to work merchant marine gigs until they caught up again and he had to move again) , standing tall on the tractor foot boards, driving down the truck trail, one hand on his hip, ball cap, shades, and Saddle Tramp (the album) playing on the Super Tuner on the tractor. A long well-kept ponytail floating in the breeze, massive brown beard, incessant incongruent smile from shit he couldn't talk about without displacing it with that affect, and a purple glitter t-shirt that read, 'Swamp Power'.

Another temporary family where I picked up some new tunes, lessons, responsibility, skills, acceptance, knowledge, etc.
