Maybe there was only room for one really successful country-folk-rock group with good songs and strong harmonies in the mid-'70s, and the job had already been taken by
The Eagles. Who knows?
American Flyer's second and final album didn't have as many great songs as the debut, and some of them were swamped by strings, but it was a pleasant work, notably featuring a version of
Eric Kaz's "I'm Blowin' Away," which
Bonnie Raitt had covered a couple of years earlier.
