Souther Hillman Furay (1975) Follow Me Through - LOST 70s GEMS

A catchy yacht rocker with enough country to prove the three solo artists of this forgotten super group had some fresh ideas. From their second album the funk crossover Trouble in Paradise which was interesting and solid on songwriting if lacking the original spark that was in the sound of their prior ventures like Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds or even Longbranch Pennywhistle. They tried to mix funk into their easygoing carefree harmony country rock, their first album's lead single Border Town featured a chugging rhythm along the liens of Listen to the Music but these three couldn't gel and create a new organic outfit so they finished after what was a solid album, far more than their debut, but lacking in interesting arrangements pretty much just adding light jazzy guitar licks to the country rock they had already established in other ventures. Shame..circle can't be broken til the last line is spoken..
