Review by Samuel Johnston

Alright, buckle up because we’re diving into Blanket On The Ground Come On Home by Billie Jo Spears. This 1975 gem is one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it—kinda like finding an old photograph in your pocket and suddenly remembering someone you haven’t thought about in years. First off, let’s talk vibes. The genre? Rock with a big ol’ splash of Country Rock. It’s not trying too hard to be cool; instead, it feels like sitting on a porch somewhere dusty, sipping something cold while life just kinda rolls past. Released across countries like the Netherlands, UK, Australia (yep, even Yugoslavia!), this record has seen more stamps in its passport than most of us ever will. Now, onto the tracks. “Blanket On The Ground” hits first, and wow—it sticks. You know how some songs feel like they were written just for you? That’s what this track does. It’s simple but so damn heartfelt. I reckon Harold Lee, the engineer, must’ve had his hands full making sure every twang of the guitar felt alive, because it sure sounds like it. There’s this rawness to it, almost like Billie Jo herself is standing right there singing only to you. And then there’s that line—"Come lay down beside me under the stars." C’mon, doesn’t that make you wanna grab someone special—or maybe just yourself—and head out to wherever the sky looks endless? Then there’s “Come On Home.” Man, if “Blanket On The Ground” makes you dreamy, this one tugs at your heartstrings. Produced by Larry Butler, it’s got this slow-burn ache to it. Like, you can practically hear the longing dripping from each word. I remember listening to it late one night after a long day, and honestly? It made me miss people I didn’t even realize I missed. That’s the magic of Billie Jo’s voice—it’s warm yet bittersweet, like coffee on a rainy morning. The whole thing was released under United Artists Records, which explains why it feels polished without losing its grit. Hats off to RTV Ljubljana for bringing it to Yugoslavia—that alone deserves applause. Imagine hearing these tunes blasting through speakers in places worlds apart yet somehow feeling connected. So yeah, here’s the kicker: Why does an album from ’75 still matter today? Maybe it’s because music like this reminds us we’re all searching for the same things—a little love, a place to belong, or heck, just someone to share a blanket with under the stars. Or maybe it’s because Billie Jo Spears knew how to tell stories that stick around longer than they should. And now for my unexpected remark: Listening to this album feels like stepping into a time machine… except the time machine smells faintly of hay and broken-in leather boots. Funny thing is, I don’t think I’d mind staying there awhile.

I remember loving this record in the 70’s when I was not even 10 years old. Gotta love the oldies.

She was my favourite artist. When she first came on the music scene and still is and that’s going back a long way but it’s great music to this day
