Listening away tonight to "mixed" CDs, Tapes, Lps etc., and came across this classic. I'm ALWAYS impressed by this beautiful song and unbelievably simple, yet complicated, |

Great tune for sure. One of the alltime greatest Springfield tunes. I did have a chance to see Richie sing this song with POCO..great memory.. I really prefer the Springfield cut over the POCO cut as I am not a fan of the Steel/Leslie Organ tone which was used on the POCO LIVE album and studio cut. Rusty had it down, and considering when he cut the track with the Springfield is proof positive of ability back then. ( still does I'm sure ) TP |

"Kind Woman" is THE first reason why I play steel guitar today. |

I like the Springfield version too. On a bit of a side note, I've been reading "Shakey", the Neil Young biography. I'm into the Springfield stuff now, where Jack Nitzche is hooking up with Neil, lending his creativity to "Expecting To Fly". I knew that the Springfield days were full of turmoil, but man, there is some stuff in the book that really surprised me. The people (other musicians) who were into the band, and who sat in with them at gigs. I found a lot of surprises, and I anticipate many more. A lot of surprising things about not only Neil, but other folks as well. It's a great, great read. Normally I would have had it read in 2 days. But it's so good that I'm rationing myself little bits at a time, cuz I don't want it to end  I'm not gonna divulge any juicy details, but there was one thing I read which just blew me away. One of Neil's signature little riffs (one heard often on Springfield songs) was influenced by Floyd Cramer. Now I like Floyd Cramer. I know his sound. But I never would have made the connection with Neil's incorporating that into HIS sound. Maybe everyone already knows that, but I didn't, and it really knocked me out because when I read it, it just seemed so obvious. If you haven't bought the book, I'd highly recommend doing so. It's a gem. |

A beautiful song in every way. Wonder if anyone has ever played it at the St. Louis convention? And if so, how it was received? |

Richie told me that when Rusty did "Kind Woman" with the Springfield, his guitar did not make it to the session, and he played it on a borrowed guitar There is a great book co=written by Richie and John Einarson about the Springfield that is a great read also. I'm not sure if it in print or not... |
