George's "greatest hits volume 2"
released after he changed record labels to his own "Dark Horse" (hence
the title) label. This collection works extremely well - even though
it's missing his earliest, best work from 1971-1973. Fortunately, George
includes the timeframe in the title of this album, so no one could claim
"rip off". The record plays very nice
considering he never really climbed back to the top until 1987's Cloud Nine. It includes three new songs that
sounded as though they should have been on that album. Two are really
good (Poor Little Girl and Cheer Down) while one,
Cockamamie Business, is too long and repetitious. A minor sin,
though.
