Billy Swan: I Can Help (Monument KZ 33279)
Tom Nolan, Rolling Stone, 13 February 1975
THE RISE to the top of pop and country charts by the title single of this debut album seems to have been as much a surprise to the artist and his supporters as it has been a thrill, so it is especially gratifying to discover that the inevitable followup LP is filled with variations and expansions of the single's exuberant spirit. Swan and coproducer Chip Young have indulged themselves in a very individual labor of love, and the result is both personal and very accessible: a huge delight.
