I was a 14 year old punk when this came out. I loved Rhiannon and bought the 45. Still, I didn't see Mac as being much different from the oodles of soft rock bands around in the '70s. It took decades to slow down enough to really appreciate their sound. And how beautiful! One thing tho, the last song sounds a little tepid compared to the burn-the-house-down live version. Get that, too.
