If you love The Flying Burrito Brothers, Dillard & Clark and Clarence White era Byrds then this is right up your street…Swampwater’s self titled album from 1971…They were Linda Ronstadt’s backing band and featured Gib Guilbeau & John Beland who both went on to join The Burritos…Great record! ❤️😎🚀✌️
