    I was fortunate to have worked the first Be In in Philadelphia at Belmont Plat. Seatrain was there and kicked ass. Young half naked hippie chicks, spectacular music ,incredible drugs, no hassles by the police . Not one brawl just a great day when there was still hope . Peace

    Best version of I'm Willin' ever - I used to play this version in a band with a violinist many years ago, and we played 13 Questions and Orange Blossom Special. This entire album is a gem and still holds up. George Martin was the producer of this album and The Marblehead Messenger. Richard Greene is an incredible fiddle player, probably one of the best ever.

    I'm 71 yrs old and first heard Seatrain in '71. Dancing, pullin' on a huge number chockful of Lebanese Gold. Today, I picked up the CD and I'm pullin' on a huge number, but the dancing is a tad arthritic. Kewl.

    This is the best version I've heard of this song! The superb fiddling is just icing on the top. The NOT stopping the time for the 'weed whites and wine' line is one of the good ideas Seatrain brought to this one.

    I heard this on radio, then searched for it FOR YEARS.
    I'd taken a friend to the airport in Albuquerque and had had a 5 hour drive home. I found this album in a record shop. It was either the album, or food on the way home.

    I was fortunate to have seen Seatrain when they were new and playing small venues around Boston. When I say small, I mean high school gyms, etc. It's the closest I ever came to becoming a groupie. Had to have seen them at least 20 times. Knew them by name, and they knew us by name. A magical time with a really special, unique band. So much fun to see!

    One of the most underappreciated bands in my time. I used to wonder why I always like this album, other than the fact that it's simply a great album, but then one day, which I had never done before, I looked at who it was produced by and it was none other than George Martin and that answered all the questions for me

    Seatrain opened with this song when I saw them in Central Park,NYC< in the summer of1971. Ihad just graduated from highschool and turned18. Iwould go to central Park at least twice a week that summer, some free, some 5bucks. We were baked a lot that summer. It was a great time to be alive. Unfortunately, a lot of my friends were dying too. At least we were able to dream back then and we were in a period when so much great music was being made.

My t-shirt from the Apteryx in Hyannis in 1971 or 1972 has a round bird with a long beak, and it says, "the joint's in good hands". I saw an Amherst band called Clean Living there.

      Absolutely true. I can't remember for sure, but I think it was a beat up old Caddie or Buick. Whatever it was, it was a big boat of a car. I remember the color - cream colored. Might have been some streaks of rust in it. I sat in the passenger seat and we drove and talked the whole way about music. I can't remember what he was listening to on the cassette deck when I got in, or what we listened to driving to the city, but I think it might have been CSN&Y. He was heading into Jersey and I was heading North to Westchester County. He offered to drive me up and around to put me on the Deegan but I felt bad about taking him so far out of his way. I told him to drop me off the first chance he had to make a safe stop. Said stop ended up being on the bridge, just in front of one of the entrance ramps. If you're out there, Richard, and read this, thanks for the great ride. Btw, ever wonder how much those bridge entrance ramps move when heavy traffic is rolling across them. Wonder no more. They move a lot!

    These guys were amazing! Saw them live at tiny Brown's Hall in Mill Valley (late 60s, it must've been). Wish I still had their first album (Seatrain? Sea Train?). Unfortunately, this cover of "Willin'" lacks everything I love about Little Feat's various versions of it. Not just Lowell's playing and singing or Bill Payne's magnificent keyboards, but the whole tempo and feel. A superb country song becomes a crappy pop tune. Now I must find some of that excellent Seatrain music.

    Thanks for the post! But to be a bit coy, how can we get Seatrain's cover of L.George & Little Feat's Willin' but no Despair Tire by Seatrain on You Tube????

    Saw them second billed at the Fillmore West when this album came out (1970?)...they were a very strong live act. Peter Rowan singing, Richard Green on electric fiddle (never underestimate the power of electric violin:) - all the others equally strong....playing what i later found out were (Sir) George Martin arrangements. wow. Kinda like The Band... first heard "Willin" by Seatrain (live and then very soon on vinyl) -tho i think Little Feat's version is more fitting for the tune. still... wow.

    Have to wonder if these guys were an influence on what later became The New Grass Revival.

    Lowell George wrote the song late 60s while in Frank Zappa and the Mothers , one of the stories goes Frank kicked Lowell out of the band over it for writing a song with drug references. Lowell always did it much more slowly and soulfully and slowed the tempo down and about killed the instruments during " weed , whites and wine " putting the emphasis on the drug reference. Go watch little feat with Lowell George doing it live on here . If you relate to this version I am happy for you music speaks to us individually my preference would be sung live by Lowell such as on the best damn live album ever IMO Waiting for Columbus. Keep listening to all music people old , new , different ....

      I heard this one first and had the album, it went through me, my younger brother and then my baby bro, who I think has it still....
      There's so many great songs on this on, you should ,listen to it.
      Anyway, it just seemed like Linda Ronstadt just copied Seatrain, so every time I heard her I always thought of these guys

    This version came out literally months after Little Feat’s first version and you can tell the similarities.

    George Martin produced "Marblehead Messenger" but the band is
    playing their own arrangements...

    An aside....its a sacrilege to have SeaTrain material posted without Despair Tire!
