There Must Be More To Love Than This (1970)
There Must Be More To Love Than This / Bottles And Barstools / Reuben James / I´d Be Talkin´ All The Time / One More Time / Sweet Georgia Brown / Woman, Woman (Get Out Of Our Way) / I Forgot More Than You´ll Ever Know / Foolaid / Home Away From Home / Life´s Little Ups And Downs
Another strong album featuring the "looser" JLL that we heard on She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye. No rock 'n' roll this time but the unbelievably fast Sweet Georgia Brown more than makes up for this! Other highlights (as well as the title track) include Bottles And Barstools, I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know & Charlie Rich's Life's Little Ups And Downs. However a couple of weaker & less memorable songs were starting to appear on the albums now, the inevitable result of trying to release 2 or 3 albums of new material per year. 4 out of 5
Outtakes: Alvin
The only outtake from the March 1970 sessions that produced the bulk of the There Must Be More To Love Than This album, this song (supposedly written by Jerry) remained in the can until the mid '80's. Also probably recorded at these sessions was It's The Real Thing, a song for a Coca-Cola radio commercial that's available on a '70's vinyl bootleg LP.
