Most of the songs on this album were written a few years before its release – more like 1972 than 1979 – and, upon listening, that makes sense.

Overall, this record is most definitely of its time, yet still proves to be a most enjoyable listen. At its high points, “Before I Forget…” is as good an example of acoustic guitar-oriented folk/rock that you are likely to hear. It features a host of great musicians, is well recorded, and well produced at Pepper’s Studios.
