...always been a country girl at heart. Her marvelously adaptable voice takes on a down home inflection, as if she had been raised on corn dodgers and redeye gravy. The best cut is Uncle Joe, a traditional square dance tune in which Buffy starts off playing the mouth bow, followed by a gradual buildup of banjo, bass and fiddle until the entire backing group is involved. The biggest disappointment is Now That the Buffalo's Gone. The waltz tempo with lilting guitar backing totally destroys the electric intensity of the song's drama. In spite of this production...

Though his tall, ruggedly handsome figure is an undoubted contribution to the image of the ticket, his five-inch advantage over Humphrey will inevitably invite Mutt and Jeff caricatures...
...mood for broken doorbells and locked gates, having suffered through the last hour or more guarding the only pay phone within miles at the Malibu sheriff's office, trying vainly to break the Rex Reed busy-signal barrier. Suddenly, like Ray Bolger bouncing onstage for a final bow, he is there before me, has waved hello, left three sentences hanging on the air like a vapor trail from a Boeing 707, and is breezing back inside before I even hear him : "It's-just-frantic-around-here-I've-been -on -the -phone - all-morning...
