"Finally! I've been waiting for this one for years!! I have it on vinyl, and though the record is in great shape, I have wanted a digital version to anjoy. As far as I know, this is the only recording by R.B. Greaves, and that is a shame. This outing has great material, including the smash hit "Take a Letter, Maria." His cover of "Always Something There to Remind Me" is my favorite version of the song. "Home to Stay" is a gripping tale of a soldier's final homecoming. There is great urban commentary in "The Ballad of Leroy" and "Birmingham, Alabama." So much else could be said about this great album, but suffice it to say that the material is strong, the production superb, and the performance leaves you wanting more. Many thanks to those responsible for its release on CD!"

Another album by R. B. Greaves.

"I agree with reveiwer Mr. Billings on this album. However, for his information and others who may not know, there is at least one other LP as follows: "R. B. Greaves," Bareback Records, Inc., New York, N.Y., 1977, #-BB3333, Produced by Stephen Metz and Helen Miller, all songs written by Mr. Greaves. This LP has ten tracks - all different from the listed 1969 LP."
