Longbranch/Pennywhistle - Longbranch/Pennywhistle, Amos Records AAS-7007 GATEFOLD

Longbranch Pennywhistle's only album features Glenn Frey and J.D. Souther collaborating before either had risen to fame. The album sold little and the duo broke up in mid-1970. However, Frey was soon playing in Linda Ronstadt's band and forming the nucleus of the Eagles, to whom Souther would frequently contribute as a songwriter Some of the fine musicians who helped shape this album include rockabilly guitarist James Burton, slide guitarist Ry Cooder, Buddy Emmons on pedal steel, Wrecking Crew pianist Larry Knechtel, drummer Jim Gordon, bassist Joe Osborn and fiddler Doug Kershaw.

“Jubilee Anne” is pure country, delivered with conviction by Souther; catchy, bouncy with a honky tonky groove; “Run, Boy, Run” was an obvious single; a rockin’ piece of youthful folly by Frey – sung with with a great deal of gusto and honestly, you can tell this planted the seeds of The Eagles’ sound – it would have fit comfortably on the first Eagles album and the harmonies between Frey and Souther are tight. “Rebecca” has some lovely finger picking and rich, warm acoustic tones and is simply a standout; “Kite Woman” is a breezy moment of that particular “country rock” vibe at its absolute best; “Mister Mister” is one of the deeper lyrical tracks, with a very sympathetic and emotional reading from Souther and “Never Have Enough” is the “rocking-ist” moment – a thumper, where you can imagine hands clapping and raising beers as the crowd sings along.
