For his 1969 sophomore effort, Ackles and producer Russ Miller ditched the rock band, brought in top session musicians and classically-trained arranger Fred Myrow (a sometime collaborator with Jim Morrison), and made a record closer to Brecht and Weill than the Beatles. The sweep of Ackles' lyrics is truly cinematic on such songs as "Main Line Saloon," "That's No Reason to Cry," "Candy Man," "Out on the Road," "Cabin on the Mountain," "Woman River," "Inmates of the Constitution," and "Subway to the Country." Ambitious AND successful. Track listing: 1 Main Line Saloon

3 Candy Man
4 Out On The Road
5 Cabin On The Mountain
6 Woman River
7 Inmates Of The Constitution
8 Subway To The Country
