Jesse Winchester: Let the Rough Side Drag [Bearsville, 1976]
Third Down and Learn to Love It were thin but never less than pleasant, mostly because Winchester is such a warm, astute singer. This is a shade thinner, and when Ol' Jess goes MOR with "As Soon as I Get on My Feet" or transforms "Brand New Tennessee Waltz" into a straight country tune, it's less than pleasant. C+
