Evergreen, Vol. 2 is the second album from the Rock Poneys, released 5 months subsequently The Stone Poneys. It was the most commercially successful of the Rock Poneys' three studio albums.

Release data [edit]

The anthology was released in the LP format on Capitol in June 1967 in both monaural and stereophonic editions (catalogue numbers T 2763 and ST 2763, respectively), and subsequently, on 8-track tape (catalogue number 8XT 2763) and cassette (catalogue number C4-80129). In 1995, Capitol reissued the album on CD (catalogue number CDP-80129).

Raven issued a 27-track "2-fer" CD In 2008, featuring all tracks from this and the band'southward kickoff album (under its 1975 reissue name, The Stone Poneys Featuring Linda Ronstadt), plus four tracks from their third album, Linda Ronstadt, Rock Poneys and Friends, Vol. 3.

Notes on the tracks [edit]

In a departure from the first album, Linda Ronstadt was the lead vocalist on almost all songs, with only occasional harmony vocals. The exception is the title vocal, "Evergreen" (also released on the B-side of the album'due south outset single, "One for Ane"). Kenny Edwards sang lead on "Part Ane", while "Office Two" is an instrumental. Both parts have a psychedelic rock feel and feature sitar playing (likewise by Edwards).

The album contains the band'southward biggest hitting, "Different Pulsate", written past Mike Nesmith prior to his joining The Monkees. The Stone Poneys' version went to No. 12 on Billboard's Hot 100 nautical chart (with 'featuring Linda Ronstadt' on the single label; she was the only band member on the track). As Edwards recalled, the band based their original recording of the vocal on a version by The Greenbriar Boys from their 1966 album Better Late than Never!: "We cut a version very much like that, with mandolin, kind of a jug bandy, bluegrass-light version."[2] Record producer Nik Venet, sensing that the vocal could be a hit, had Ronstadt re-record it with other musicians. However, "Different Drum" did non chart until November 1967, afterwards the band's four-month bout to support the album; Edwards had already left the Stone Poneys by so.[ citation needed ]

The first single from the album, "I for Ane," did non nautical chart. It was co-written by Austin DeLone, after a member of seminal country stone band Eggs Over Like shooting fish in a barrel, a group credited with launching the pub rock movement in Great britain.[3]

5 of the songs were co-written past band members Bobby Kimmel and Edwards. Kimmel also co-wrote "New Difficult Times" – with the unusual theme of examining the downside of '60s abundance – with Mayne Smith, a fellow member of the San Francisco Bay Surface area's offset bluegrass band, the Redwood Canyon Ramblers.[4]

Many of the other songwriters featured on the album, like the Stone Poneys themselves, were struggling singer-songwriters on the Los Angeles folk scene. Steve Gillette contributed "Vocal most the Rain" and "Back on the Street Again", and sang harmony vocals with Ronstadt on the latter. Sunshine Company had their biggest hit with "Back on the Street Again" (reaching No. 36 in Billboard); and Gillette included information technology on his eponymous debut album;[v] both versions were released in 1967. More than 30 years afterward, Due west Declension bluegrass band Laurel Canyon Ramblers (led by Herb Pederson) released the song equally the title track of their third CD, in 1998.[vi]

"December Dream," the album'southward opening track, was written by John Braheny, who had a brief career as a singer-songwriter before moving on to other areas of the music business concern. Fred Neil recorded the song in the aforementioned full general time period, although it remained unreleased until the 1998 double-CD compilation album The Many Sides of Fred Neil.[vii] Braheny besides included information technology on his eccentric 1970 LP, Some Kind of Modify.[8]
