JDIZZY's 365 # 346: Garden Party

Garden Party - Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band (1972)

Back in the late 50's/early 60's, Ricky Nelson was a teen idol on the level of the Beebs today. But in 1971, Rick Nelson was booed off the stage for playing his new material at a rock and roll oldies concert in Madison Square Garden. The experience resulted in one of the best songs ever written about growing older in the pop music circus. It's also some fine country rock from one of the genre's unheralded progenitors.
