The musical and literary abilities of the American singer/songwriters of the 1970s were remarkable. Rather than being competitive, so many of these performers were friends and great fans of each other. It was, for example, Kris Kristofferson who discovered Steve Goodman, who took him in turn to see John Prine and so on. They admired the craft of each other's songs and Steve Goodman, who was not as prolific as some, often included cover versions on his albums as well as old-time favourites. This 2-on-1 collection combines two fine albums that have aged very well and testify to his strong sense of humour despite the traumas of his life.
