Query: Essential

I'm not sure how my parents ended up getting turned onto this album in the mid-80s. But I do remember summer vacations, riding in the back seat of the toyota along the coast of Maine, and falling in love with this music. The musicianship, songwriting and passion was totally different than anything I'd ever heard before. And it still stands alone. Solid and brilliant.
