...watches the utter wasteland of his life come crashing through his last remaining Maginot line of self-delusion. The crucial point here is that Willy is not just a broken-down salesman--he never was a salesman. For he finds the proposition which his brother Charley puts to him, that "the only thing you got in this world is what you can sell," intolerably painful. But Goodman plays Willy as a man of no more substance than the dreams he spins--as a buffoon, a con-man who really could be happy selling the Brooklyn Bridge if only someone would...
...past and present. He is not about to record with a couple of dozen violins to woo the easy-listening audience or hire a rock band to turn on the kids. Haggard has wide enough range and appeal already. Two of country's best-selling performers, Charley Pride and Charlie Rich, sing primarily heart songs. Tom T. Hall specializes in social commentary.

Geils, Dr. John, the Rolling Stones, and Creedence Clearwater Revival are in the same AMI Rowe three-plays-for-a-quarter machine with Johnny Paycheck, Porter Wagoner, Tennessee Pullybone, Charley Pride, and Tammy Wynette. You can hear Buck Owens sing "Jack Daniels (Old No. 7)" as you get a 30-cent draft from Oley (Olga) Sopotnick, then put your quarter on the eight ball table and hear "Arms Full of Empty" and "Borrowed Angel" before Cecil, the shark, polishes off another...
