McKendree Spring (1976) Too Young To Feel This Old - LOST 70s GEMS

McKendree Spring is probably one of their great unheard folk rock songs with it's gentle pacing and caressing soft rock vocals as a father sings about his looking into his boy's face and how one day he will be gone and not see anymore, its a real tear jerker with a restrained country rocker style of beat. The strong wistful cycle of life musings are heartbreaking beyond the usual romance/heartache of the 70s rock genre, the weight of this song's subject matter is devastatingly relate able to most people, myself included as I soon enter my last year of my 20s next month. Well we're all human, all fallible, all young and all old..
