"This is the reissue of this album surprisingly released : 1. in 1981 and 2. from TENNESSEE. I think that one has to beware of some inaccurate description. Because this is not country at all, nor psychedelic (no fuzz, but sparse electric guitar). After repeated listenings, this (male and female) duet brought me in mind some 70s/80s singer songwriter still marginally influenced by UK symphonic prog rock in its less experimental aspect (i.e., I might be wrong, a guy like Chris DE BURGH). Indeed, there is a lot a beautiful flute or oboe parts and the atmosphere is no less than melodious and never "fast rocking”. The songs cleverly deal about love in a sort of subdued confrontation with FAITH.“..
