Product Description:
2 LPs on 1 CD: MY MARIA (1973)/CALABASAS (1974).
This two-fer CD combines B.W. Stevenson's 1973 album My Maria with Calabasas, released the following year. Originally these LPs were released separately on RCA, and had been out of print until being reissued in 2004 on Collectables. This pleasant and lite country-pop set highlights many original Stevenson compositions, including "Pass This Way," "(Livin' It) Day By Day," "Song for Katy," and the biggest hit of his career, "My Maria." ~ Al Campbell
