BIM (aka Roy Forbes) was a contemporary, and friend, of Terry Jacks...in
fact, both were on the short-lived Casino Label. The Emitt Rhodes album is
not indicative of his other albums. The later material leans toward
folk-rock rather than pop. Still, this particular release is one of his
better albums.
