I know this album well, I listened to it a lot as a teenager. I particularly enjoyed Mercedes Benz, and her little laugh always got me at the end. "Move Over" was also a banger. "Cry Baby" is another classic, that I forgot was on this album, that's outstanding songs to lead the album. "Buried alive in the Blues" is pretty funky but sounds a bit dated. "Me and Bobby McGee" is as good as I remember it. When the full band kicks in it has a really nice feel. "Get it while you can" is a great closer to the album. I'd give it 4/5.
