- Gregg Allman - Multicolored Lady
- Bob Dylan - You're a Big Girl Now .... Every song from the record became a classic for me but this one stands apart from the others.
- Jackson Browne - Late For the Sky / Walking Slow
- James Taylor - Mud Slide Slim .... Falling in love for the first time. I'd been listening to this all summer just prior to the Dylan and Browne albums being released.
- Steely Dan - Rikki Don't Lose That Number
- Neil Young - Sugar Mountain .... My buddy from grade school and high school had a bootleg version where I first heard the song.
- Cat Stevens - But I Might Die Tonight
- Country Joe McDonald - Drug Store Truck Driving Man .... From the Woodstock album. My vinyl collecting mentor introduced me to this tune.
- Stephen Stills and Manassas - Down the Road
- The Eagles - Doolin' Dalton
- Poco - A Good Feeling to Know
- Stevie Wonder - You Are the Sunshine of My Life
- Paul McCartney & Wings - Band On the Run .... I didn't become a Beatle fan until much later in life but I loved the Band On the Run album.
