4 out of 5 stars An 8 Track Tape Full Of Memories.......2006-05-21

This Album is really great, I remember listening to 8 track tapes as a kid at my brothers house and hearing some of the best music NOT in his collection. The 8 tracks were made by his friend, who insisted they didn't buy the same albums. Anyway, On an 8 Track titled Rock Ballad, there were 3 great songs from this album (rock ballad, drive all night, anastasia) If you like mid '70's songwriters, do not miss this album, or Night Lights, Some really inspired Springsteen-ish stuff. Buy it now

5 out of 5 stars An Amazing Album From An Under Appreciated Artist.......2005-04-26

I have not heard Elliott Murphy on commercial radio in North America since the late 1970s. And that is sad, indeed, for Elliott is an amazing song-writer and musician.

The song that introduced me to Elliott Murphy was Anastasia. A moving song about Princess Anastasia, the Ramanoff family and the tragedy of conflict between tradition and revolutionary ideas. But there are other gems on this album. Think Too Hard, Drive All Night and Darlin' display Elliott's ability to write and play rock music. Rock Ballad, Let Go, and Caught Short In The Long Run display Elliott's Dylanesque ability at writing folkier ballads. And the title track, Just A Story From America has an entertaining Calypso flavour to it.
