Don’s third album in late 1972 came after Tapestry and American Pie, and was self-titled. Personnel from the American Pie sessions were retained for this album, including the producer, Ed Freeman, Rob Rothstein on bass, and Warren Bernhardt on piano.
The photo on the cover of the album was taken overlooking the Village of Cold Spring, NY.
Dreidel and If We Try were released as singles, the latter also recorded by Olivia Newton-John.

Lyrics:
When I see you on the street I lose my concentration
Just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation
Won’t you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know
Well I’ve been thinkin’ about you day and night
And I don’t know if it’ll work out right
But somehow I think that it just might if we try
