Larry Hosford - Cross Words 1976

Another great, great indie country record. The gimmick with this album is a series of short acoustic bookends, crossword puzzle clues to words a relationship on the skids ("fight," "goodbye," "the end", etc...) In addition, there are several great Hosford originals, though the writing is a little bit denser than on the first album, and only a couple that is just plain outright catchy toe-tappers. A shame his Okie-billy ode, "Salinas" never made it onto LP, too... Plenty of great musicians on board as well, including a mix of Northern California locals and studio pros. Highly recommended!

  1. I've never heard of Hosford or this album, but AMG lists George Harrison as one of the contributors, and I've tended to like most Shelter Record releases. Thanks for the intro, Carlos.
