Eggs Over Easy (1972) Face Down in the Meadow

 Eggs over East were a American country rock band that toured Britain in the early 70s in a pub circuit pioneering the pub rock scene of the  mid 70s with this unique approach and their roots rock and roll. From their debut album, Good N Cheap, produced by Link Wray in New York. Face Down in the Meadow features an Eagles Poco type sound with darker lyrics, this a poignant and hypnotic tale of a friend's suicide. Home to You and Pistol on the Shelf are two other great songs they wrote, their rootsy, straightforward rock and roll would feature the kind of sound other Pub rockers would aim for. Though it's not the pub rockers such as Night Flight or Bar in my Car, that are the best songs but the more Southern California Soft Rock ballads, ironic for what they would be remembered for in history.
