Honey, Wheat and Laughter contained work by, among others, James Taylor and Gene MacLellan. The album was released only in Canada; however, after Murray's single "Snowbird" gained traction in the United States, several of its tracks were re-released on the 1970 compilation Snowbird.[1]
MacLellan's "Put Your Hand in the Hand" would become a top-ten hit for the band Ocean in 1971.
Reception
The album won the 1971 Juno Award for Best Produced MOR Album.[2]
