Yes, it's the first album with "Sultans of Swing". We felt this 1978 debut was a good transition from JJ Cale's Troubadour ('76), and before that Eric Clapton's 461 Ocean Boulevard ('74). The music is remarkable, beautiful and clever. So much that, given their Scottish Heritage, we had to weave in a lot of Groundskeeper Willie soundbytes just to even things out.
Seriously, though, awesome tunes that don't drop off after Sultans of Swing. Enjoy!
