The Montgomery Express - The Montgomery Movement (1974) [Reissue 2007]

"...Some albums can have it all. Some albums are haunting, chilling, and melancholic, while also being ceremonious, uplifting, and spiritual. Some records have the unique ability to bind themselves to a moment in your life and always seem to play in your head when you’re feeling nostalgic. Some records can force you to look to the distant future with a deeply curious wonderment. When you’re feeling like you’ve heard every type of album in a genre a record can pop up out of nowhere and utterly prove you wrong. When you’re lucky enough to have heard a record early in your journey into a genre, a record can pop back into your life and remind you that it’s just as good as the first time you ever heard it. Perhaps I have only experienced half of what this amazing album can offer, but I have no doubt that The Montgomery Movement is one of those rare albums that traps every kind of experience you can have listening to an album into its eight-track biosphere."
