My theory is that these last three tracks represent the album that Kirk actually wanted to make, but he just discovered that too late in the process. The record is good but it is a road bump in his creativity. This was like a strange snapshot of an alternate universe that could have occurred had he not dove into more political and philosophical work.

Edith was the only album he recorded on Verve records, and I can understand why. Book-ended by Rip Rig Panic and Blacknuss which I may review in the future , this album is completely outclassed. RRK is at his best when he is passionate and unhinged, and while a lot of these tracks are great it just makes me wish I was listening to 70s Kirk instead.
