The picture he paints with the lyrics is awesome.
And the solos in the middle are terrific.

The summer of 1976 was entirely devoted to this album lol.

Broadway Hotel, Lord Grenville, On the Border were all great. Of course nothing compared to Year of The Cat - pure magic in how it could transport you and make you feel so alive and joyous!

Thanks for the reminder.
