Loose (Hol)

"Loose" is original released in 1972 by the rock band Crazy Horse, the follow-up to their self-titled debut. It marked the departure of founding guitarist Danny Whitten, as well as Jack Nitzsche and Nils Lofgren. In Nitzsche's place is singer, songwriter, and keyboard player John Blanton, and the lead and bottleneck guitar work is provided by singer and songwriter Greg Leroy. Among them, Ralph Molina, Billy Talbot and George Whitsell contribute on all the album's songs, with Whitsell chipping in seven. Loose is a professional effort, constructed roughly in the style of Crazy Horse. In particular, Leroy takes off on some Neil Young-like leads on "All the Little Things" and "One Sided Love," and his bottleneck work on "I Don't Believe It" recalls Cooder. This album is produced by Fred Catero & Crazy Horse.
