Rick Sings Nelson 1970 Album

Rick Nelson The Stone Canyon Band

The title is a reference that Nelson wrote all ten songs here. But I don't think there is a significant difference between the Stone Canyon Nelson or the late 60's Nelson who cut records with John Boylan and the Wrecking Crew. The material is generally in the same ballpark, just given that authentic country flourish thanks to Tom Brumley's lovely steel guitar passages. But sizeable portions of the album venture into singer-songwriter and pop territory. There doesn't seem to be any one standout track that it anchors on, either, relying mainly on gentle, unassuming material. That is actually it's curse and blessing all at once.
