Loose

Description

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