Bellamy Brothers (1976) Inside of My Guitar - LOST 70s GEMS

From their Featuring "Let Your Love Flow" (And Others) album from 1976, this was the Bellamy Brothers mid 70s peak off the back of chart topper Let Your Love Flow. Let Fantasy Live extols the virtue of losing reality such as the line 'having a lover in your bed every night, she's really in your head but thats alright'. The dreamy song is made of harpsichord, acoustic guitars but also trembling bass line crawling underneath and a warm pedal steel line sounding like a Disney production. The best example of this magical sound are the sped up 'chipmunk' backing vocals that respond to the Bellamy Brothers' refrain of 'Let Fantasy Live'. Inside of my Guitar is a love song with well written melody, sung exquisitely, features heavily reverbed guitar licks wailing in the background while a synth mimics a sweeping string section in what sounds like 80s production. The incandescent harpsichord on a similar echo setting shimmers so stridently as the notes plinked in pretty lines and just about completes this song for.
