Sunstorm

 

Written by JohnStewart

 

Supposedly for a movie that never got off the ground, says Charlie.  ‘Sunstorm’ is on “Sunstorm” (surprise there), a great and underrated album, Warner Brothers, 1972.  CD re-release by Line Records in 1990. 

This is mainly Charlie´s work, and he admitted he made up the parts where the acoustic is almost inaudible due to the joyful noise of the other instruments.  Way to go, Charlie.  You'll enjoy playing this one, pickers!
