First album by nearly totally obscure country singer Glenda Griffith whose lone hit "Don't worry ('bout me)" made it to #96 on the country charts in early 1978. Singer and guitarist, Glenda Griffith was part of the one album folk group Big Sur Choir in 1974. Griffith debuted as soloist with this self-titled album in 1977 produced by Don Henley. Excellent country rock record where she is accompanied by a truly impressive group of backing musicians, including the complete Eagles, Carole King, and some of the major artist of the Californian music elite. Griffith writes only a couple of pieces dedicating herself mostly to the reinterpretation of other artists songs. There are songs of Danny O'Keefe, Carole King, Jesse Winchester among others, delicate ballads alternated to more rhythmic songs . Excellent workmanship album of a rather high level but almost unnoticed. Don't know the reasons but Griffith's second album was released only 47 years later in 2021.
