A full tank of gas, the gentle glow from the radio dial, & stretches of open highway await, Forever Gamblin' On You meanders through miles of soulful AOR, funky folk, & dusty soft rock obscurities. A follow up to Sky Dust Drifter, this compilation was gleaned from American private press oddities & rarities of the 70s & 80s, all of which are seeing their first official reissues on this album. A celebration of love, rebirth, and exploration radiating like the warmth of a loved one from the passenger seat. Featuring "Feeling The Fire", a jazzy, AOR grooving declaration of love and desire taken from the sole release from The Mad Brother. The compilations' title track "Forever Gamblin On You" by Petroc And Pals, features an echo-laden folk rock recollection of hard feelings delivered with swelling guitar in a mournful soft psychedelia. Angie Pepper's "Miss You Too Much" dwells on a past love, rolling along with an effortlessly cool rhythm section, while Roy McComas croons of his manifested "angel of love" on the swirling psych folk rocker "Girl Of My Dreams". Forever Gamblin' On You unfolds as a hopeful yet equally melancholic collection of nomadic anthems, primed for a memorable journey along the back roads of familiar American landscapes.
