"Born Too Soon" track listing:
(side 1)
1.) Up To You (Jimmy Myers - Kevin Waters)- 3:36
The bouncy country-rock tinged 'Up To You' promised great things. With Myers and Richter both singing, the result was vaguely reminiscent of The Beatles 'You Can't Do That'. or something an angry Mike Nesmtih might have tried to shove down Don Kirshner's throat during his days with The Monkees. The track also featured one of Richter's nicer solos. rating: **** stars
2.) Now She's Gone (Jimmy Myers - Buddy Richter) - 4:40
Remember those Glen Campbell albums your grandparents owned ? Well, if you do, this sounded like something Jimmy Webb might have written for Campbell. With the exception of some nice Richter fuzz guitar, this was a very MOR pop ballad. rating: ** stars
3.) Go Out & Get It (Jimmy Myers - Buddy Richter) - 3:21
Nice, almost funky rocker with an extended Richter solo. The lead singer sounded like he'd swallowed a cp full of nails. One of the album highlights. rating: **** stars
4.) Lady Lynn (Jimmy Myers - Buddy Richter) - 4:27
A straightforward country ballad complete with pedal steel guitar, 'Lady Lynn' was actually the kind of country song meant for people who didn't like country music. With a pretty melody, great guitar solo, mournful lyric and a nice hook, it may have been the album's prettiest song. rating: *** stars


(side 2)
1.) I Ain't Going (Jimmy Myers - Buddy Richter) - 3:14 
Southern rock with a pop edge ? Pop with a Southern rock edge ? Beats me, but this was one great way to open up side two. Wicked lyrics too boot. This one would have been a hoot to hear live. Great little guitar riff on this one and the do-do-do harmonies were great ... rating: ***** stars
2.) Crazy For Crying (Jimmy Myers) - 4:12
Geez, how does a band go from the wonderful 'I Ain't Going' to the lounge act sounds of something like 'Crazy For Crying'. This one was impossibly bad - remember the character Bill Murray use to play on Saturday Night Live ? Lounge act singer Nick Winters ? Yup, that's what you had here. Even worse, this helpless ballad just went on and on and on. rating: * star
3.) Stepping Out Of The Darkness (Jimmy Myers - Buddy Richter) - 5:25
Talk about whiplash ... the next transition found the band shifting from lounge act to seriously acid drenched psych. Powered by some totally meltdown Richter lead fuzz guitar, this was the kind of track so called heavy bands like Cactus, Iron Butterfly and Mountain could only dream about writing and recording. Awesome performance; the album's creative highpoint and I'm surprised it hasn't been included on dozens of compilation sets. rating: ***** stars
4.) Hold Me For The Last Time (Jimmy Myers - Kevin Waters) - 3:21
So why not trot out a '50s Roy Orbison-styled ballad ? These guys clearly needed some advice on picking a sound and sticking with it. rating: ** stars
