"Cymarron was comprised of three very successful songwriters from Memphis, Tennessee in 1971. Although their band career only lasted two years, they debuted with a remarkably catchy love song called, "Rings", which has been covered a few times. It was a big hit the summer of 1971. This was followed by three more singles, but none reached the Top 20 status of "Rings". The sound is a mix of "Crosby, Stills and Nash" and "America", with its folksy rock rhythm and beat. This album also covers the Bee Gees, "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?" in a guardedly close manner. The original album contained 11 tracks and this collection adds 5 more tracks, containing their two last singles. This album is newly released rarity collection from "Collectables" which contains tons of great oldies material."

"I had to have this CD for my collection. With songs like "Rings," "Like Children" and even "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" from Bee Gee's fame, it seemed like a must have. In hearing this CD, I am reminded of some of the great songs of the 70's as well as groups worth remembering and listening to. When listening to Cymarron, I realized how much I enjoyed their music and was happy to hear it again. I like the country rock feel of this album."
