This is the best selling album from the Mourning Doves.
It features the runaway number one hit “Peanuts in the Rain.”
It’s that classic 1970s soft-rock anthem—heavy on the melancholic flute solo, with a chorus that everyone hums while staring out a window. It spent six weeks at the top of the charts because it perfectly captured that “waiting for the bird feeder to be refilled” existential dread.
Other fan favorites from the B-side include:
“Cooing at the Moon” – A psychedelic power ballad.
“No Mustard, No Onions (Just Seeds)” – A surprisingly upbeat track about being picky at the feeder.
“The Suburban Fence Line” – A 7-minute progressive folk odyssey.
