...BALLADS are infused with country sentiment. Both he and bassist Timothy Schmit write songs of unrequited love of slightly less fervor than Tammy Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" (with similar arrangements.) Songs like "What If I Should Say I Love You," with very large organ sounds coming from Rusty Young's pedal steel guitar, and final choruses of shouting begin to combine elements of rhythm and blues with the country arrangements. But Poco wraps each song in its own harmonies; because it is one of the few groups with four blendable voices (nobody can deny Crosby...
...miya-mairi, which correspond to Christian baptisms, are traditionally Shinto, and their funerals are traditionally Buddhist. Now, increasingly, the Japanese are taking to being married in Christian ceremonies. This year 10% of all Japanese marriages are expected to take place in Christian churches-complete with white wedding gown, preacher, organ music and flowers-even though only 1% of Japanese are baptized Christians.

...Lover" is similarly structured. It begins with a full organ opening leading to an excellent basic riff from the rhythm section. (Ballard's chording is exceptional here, as it is on his own songs, and throughout.) Argent's gradual entry into the song for the break emphasizes his tendency to build a solo. There's a certain unpredictability in his explorations, both here and on "Hold Your Head Up," that results in an increased interest on the part of the listener. Argent's influences are subtle, and echo so well the texture of his solo that the finished whole...
