The Psychedelic Cowboys of Love became famous for their dark, poetic L.A. folk rock. But "Alone Again Or" was written and partly sung by guitarist MacLean -- who later left the band to join a Christian ministry -- as a tribute to his mother's flamenco dancing. The final take is a decidedly trippy swirl of strings, horns and Spanish-style acoustic guitars.
