I love this album! The title cut, "Lovin' in the Valley of the Moon," is worth the price of admission. "Hangin' Tree" is pure gravy. Just heard Bill say that Norton passed away. Very, very sad. He was an amazing harp player and all around good guy. Check out his discs with blues guitarist Roy Rogers. Sublime.
 
He was a great session player; he worked with people like Bonnie Riatt, Elvin Bishop, Johnny Cash and many others. He also spent 25 years as a member of The Steve Miller Band. Talented guy. RIP.

Please never play this ridiculous song again. This guy's voice is all over the place and the song itself sucks!

Something can't be "very unique". Unique is an absolute. Something is either unique, or it isn't. There's no middle ground.

Only 2 things are wrong with this: It's over 5 minutes long. It's not never good.

Wow, haven't heard ol' Norton in ages. Sad to hear he's passed away.

Many moons ago (when I wore a younger man's clothes) I saw Norton on a double-bill with Commander Cody. Much beer and many mellow cigarettes were consumed by the crowd and a very good time was had by all.

Just caught that too. Too bad, he was great. We had the opportunity to see him here w/ Roy Rogers a couple years ago - fantastic show.

 
Ditto. His impression of Walter Brennan was a stitch, nevermind Norton's prowess with a tray full of harmonicas. We could use more nice guys like him.

I was hoping this would be funny, so it would have some redeeming feature.

Would've given this a 3, but I was the first to rate this song, so I felt pretty special and it improved my mood. Hence the high high rating.
