/ – Twilley Don’t Mind

Still an obscurity decades after its 1977 release, the Dwight Twilley Band’s second album is an essential if under-appreciated part of ’70s power pop history. Coming out of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Twilley and his partner Phil Seymour worked hard creating music that critics adored but the general public ignored, and when Twilley Don’t Mind wasn’t a smash hit, the group disbanded. What’s left behind is an album of twangy, rocking, high-powered pop perfection, epitomized by the enduringly captivating single “Looking for the Magic.”
