Willie Remembers is the fifth official album by Rare Earth and the first where the musicians became the producers. It was their first attempt to focus on original material, which resulted in decreased sales and a decline in the charts. However, the song 'Good Time Sally' made it to the American charts. Willie Remembers is considered one of Rare Earth's more refined works, with a more homogeneous sound compared to their earlier albums. The album features 'Think of the Children' and 'Come with Your Lady', which received decent radio play. The album also includes a 12-minute jam called 'I Couldn't Believe What Happened Last Night'.
