Speaking of Love

Rod McKuen was one of the best-selling poets in America during the late '60s, and achieved considerable success as a songwriter, soundtrack composer, and singer. His recordings alternated between poetic pop songs and spoken word readings of his verse. Speaking of Love is a 23-track spoken word collection featuring Rod McKuen reading his poetry, with exactly two songs tossed into the mix: "To Watch the Trains" and "So Long San Francisco."
