I shall say it ten times ...
Went to his concert in Brisbane and loved the fact that live or recorded, he sounds the same. I have purchased, yes paid for, ten of Loudon's CD's. I guess I'm a true blue fan, so what else is there to say ?.


unrequited
i would purchase from this seller again in the future!. the cd came fairly quick and it was in perfect condition.


A cynical masterpiece
Shortly afterwards someone stole it from the room at the student hall of residence where I was living. I heard, and bought this LP at the time it was released. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. This was a revelation to me, a European, at a time when US singer-songwriter albums seemed to be saccharine or more likely cyclamate sweet. The songs each punch home in their own way and Loudon's sneering dismissal of his lover in Unrequited To The Nth Degree, contrasts with the raw, desperate lust of Crime of Passion and the utter charm of Kings and Queens. It's the best thing he ever did. If Billy Altman dictated his review while sitting down, then his voice was muffled.

Brilliant thoughts from a depressing time
It is not surprising that our lives run in a parallel time which he sings about and I mainly listen to. I'm only a few months older than the aritist. The underlying sentiment seems so geniuine on these songs, he seems positively driven to drag it all out and let people know what is going on. Three verses of "Kick in the Head" includes just about everything anyone could stand to hear about that, and I think you should hear it.


Louden at his very best - a classic
"Rufus" and "The Hardy Boys At The 'Y'" are worth the price of the album. This is the Louden I knew and loved - the one who didn't care about being politically or socially correct. Unfortunately, Louden has gotten a bit too serious in his advanced age, and his concerts and albums don't even come close to measuring up to this - his best- album.
