Townes Van Zandt wrote songs with an uncommon grace and poetic clarity, and he sang them with a voice that was at once straightforward, eloquent, and mindful of the arid beauty of his images. A decade after Van Zandt released his first album, there would be dozens of singer/songwriters following his example, but he was a rather unusual commodity when for the Sake of the Song was released in 1968, and the album's production and arrangements occasionally suggest that Jack Clement and Jim Malloy didn't always know what to make of what he brought them. The 11 songs on Van Zandt's debut are all fine stuff (even the throwaway novelty Talkin' Karate Blues at least brings a chuckle), and the emotional force with which Van Zandt delivers (Quicksilver Daydreams Of) Maria, Tecumseh Valley, and the title tune belies the fact this was his first album. But on several tracks Clement and Malloy attempt to match the elusive mystery of Van Zandt's music with overblown accompaniment and deeply echoey recording, especially the cheesy chorus on the Velvet Voices, the clichéd Western accompaniment of I'll Be Here in the Morning, the tinkling keyboards on Sad Cinderella, and the rattling percussion of Waitin' Around to Die. In spite of the occasionally misguided production, for the Sake of the Song remains a classic debut. These songs make clear that Van Zandt's genius was already fully formed, and as both a composer and a performer he was a man of rare gifts; even when the backing threatens to drown him out, his gifts come shining through, and for the Sake of the Song was an auspicious debut offering from a talent of the first order.

Buyer beware this toy falls apart
I’m sorry to write this review, but I DO NOT recommend this item at all. It is as pictured. It is really cute. It is soft. My dog loves it. HOWEVER, the seams just fall apart. I have bought 3 of these since Christmas and it’s only the beginning of June so five months later and all three of them have fallen apart. Literally the wing will fall off, a foot will fall off and the seams keep coming undone. The stuffing is all over the house. This is one of the cutest stuffy’s. I’ve ever bought for my dog, but it is also the lowest quality and a complete waste of money. Highly recommend that you buy something else.

EVERY DOG NEEDS THIS BUDDY!!!
Our golden doodle never leaves a room without it. Perfect size for our 20 lb golden doodle baby!! So soft yet so durable. Our pup sleeps with it every night. So quiet too!!! We ordered a backup in case but have yet to need to because of the amazing quality!!!

Durability sucks dont buy
I purchased the Mellow Duck dog toy specifically for its supposedly durable construction, hoping it would provide at least a few weeks of entertainment. Unfortunately, the toy was completely shredded and destroyed within 24 hours of its arrival. For a product marketed as suitable for dogs, the material quality is extremely poor and clearly not designed to withstand even moderate chewing or play. This was a significant disappointment and a total waste of money. I cannot recommend this toy for any dog, as it offers zero long-term value.

Not sturdy toy
Toy was not as big as we thought it would be and in addition the dog ripped it up within 2 weeks. Expensive for not lasting very long.

Not for heavy chewers.
Does not hold up to our german shepherd. If you have a large dog be aware the seams will separate. But this is our dogs favorite toy. We gad to buy two within 6 months.
