From 1972 comes the first album by Casey Kelly. The absolute beauty and power of this album is self-evident once you listen. The appearance of the best session players available, along with Jim Messina's guitar solo on "You Can't Get There From Here" further underscores the importance of this record. For the closely tuned ear, if you think this album sounds a lot like the first Jackson Browne album, then you deserve an award. Play You Can't Get There From Here Play Silver Meteor Play Poor Boy Play Samples of the entire album Songs on this album are: 1. Silver Meteor 2. Making Believe 3. Run Away 4. Poor Boy 5. For Miss Julie 6. A Good Love Is Like A Good Song 7. You Can't Get There From Here 8. Escaping Reality 9. Resign Yourself To Me 10. Visiting An Old Friend 
No longer available on CD | | Skip ahead two years and things have changed a bit. Pressure from the label squeezes Casey to make a "different" record. This time out, the same band appears on the tracks but the essence of the music is filtered and altered to suit the "suits" at Elektra. This is still a great album and I wouldn't part with it but the magic of the first album was somehow gone. After all - not many records were ever made that are as good as Casey's first. Play Reach Out For Me Play All I Could Do Play It's Too Late To Change What's Happened Play Samples of the entire album Songs on this album are: 1. Jus' Enjoy All You Can Stand 2. Bayou Country 3. All I Could Do 4. Airport Song 5. Reach Out For Me 6. It's Too Late To Change What's Happened 7. I Wish I Knew 8. Honey Wait For Me 9. Sometimes I Think I Love You More 10. And I'm Home
