Simply Perfect

Review Score: (10/10)
I originally purchased this album on vinyl and fell in love with it from the first listen I gave it. I'm not sure there is a better recording to put on and unwind to. The uptempo numers such as "Lovable", "Eisenhower Blues", and "Suit of Lights" are just as easy on the brain as the beauty of "I'll Wear it Proudly", "Poisoned Rose", and "Sleep of the Just". The album as a whole simply takes you away from wherever you are and sets you down in a comfortable chair where you can get away for an hour. Ranks in my top 3 of E.C.'s works and top 10 in my entire catalogue. Incidentally, my other 2 E.C. favorites are "This Year's Model" and "Blood and Chocolate".
