Bellamy Brothers (1978) Mornin Mockingbird - LOST 70s GEMS

Mornin' Mockingbird starts with some bird song chirps, the sound effects work alongside the entrancing guitar figure, while the lead singer draws you in with a pleasant little ditty sung with a sombre depth in his voice. Then the transient woodwind solo enters and everything is great. Is there a hint of Native American flute music in this sweet pastoral circular progression? From their 1978 Beautiful Friends album, another tougher, again sombre tune is the deep river rootsy soul of It's Just the Gypsy in Your Soul and some dreamy percussion and acoustics alongside a watery dual lead guitar
