The album was “well ahead of its time. Named for a ranger lookout in Cades Cove, Knoxville country-rock act Rich Mountain Tower found some national success in the 1970s. With David Carr on lead guitar, William “Sandy” Garrett on bass and vocals, Doug Moisson on lead and pedal steel guitar, Dana Paul on 12-string acoustic guitar and vocals, and Bob Tucillo on drums, the band gained popularity playing in Knoxville clubs like Bradley’s Station, the Place, the Longbranch, and Yosamite [sic] Sam’s before getting their break following a show in Nashville.
The band sign with Ovation Records and booked studio time. Members of Area Code 215, Nashville’s hotshot session players—including multi-instrumentalist Charlie McCoy and steel guitarist Weldon Myrick—were enlisted to help the band record its self-titled debut in 1971 with the brand-new Quadrophonic recording process; unfortunately, not many people had the expensive Quadrophonic stereo equipment, so the full sonic experience was largely lost on those who bought the album. However, the album was well engineered. It’s a mostly mellow country-rock affair, awash in acoustic guitars and harmonies reminiscent of CSN&Y and the Grateful Dead circa Workingman’s Dead.
