Player (1977) Love is Where you Find It

 Player, a one hit wonder 70's soft rock band famous for the 1978 hit 'Baby Come Back', created a funky, rocker  of a debut album. Goodbye That's All I've Ever Heard, Melanie and Come on Out are excellent offerings from the album; though most reviewers will point 'This Time I'm In It For Love', the follow up single to Baby Come Back as the sleeper of the album. 'This Time I'm In It For Love' sounds like a forced, un-engaging lyric, while the melody to Baby Come Back was so direct and the album's closing countrified ballad, Tryin to Write a Hit Song, are well executed ballads.

 But I have chosen Love is Where You Find It for this post, a personal choice, the James Brown guitar of original guitarist Steve Kipner along with their standard, shrill backing vocals give the song a lot of soul. It also features good lyrics such as the title and "Never push the river, you've got to let it flow." It was also the B side to their first single, a obscure track called Saturday Night Jukebox; this was before their full studio album debut when they were called Bandana.
