/\  Wild Horses was plugged into the cosmos it's true, a very beautiful song .... hanging out with Gram Parsons .....

well, there were a couple more countryesque tunes out of them after Gram but it was Keith's thing really, and he checked out for a long while .....

they were still interested in country I think, e.g., Till the Next Goodbye, but remained more focused on soul/R&B

they never quite finished their version of We Had It All but they did come up with Far Away Eyes, my favorite track on Some Girls (followed by Before They Make Me Run)

/\  bang on, it was the sincerity that never in my opinion reappeared after Black and Blue ... Far Away Eyes is in the long tradition of jokey country songs by country artists like Red Sovine, I've always loved it, but most people ignored it ....

/\  Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band ftw

Chakachas roool!

Barry White's drummers, including Ed Greene and Alvin Taylor.

Love Billy's Outta Space single, too.
