You're right – that was the deeper question I was asking myself. And I come to similar conclusions as you, the cultural cynic in me knowing there will never be a true classic again (in the sense we've come to understand it), but the fan in me still clinging to that small glimpse of hope in the presence of something as refined as Cavalier's album.
Also, let me deeply thank you for the Charles Bevel introduction!! Just partway through the album now and it's got that incredibly sunny Dobie Gray country soul perfection. Gonna be listening to this.
Mikey Young's NTS show was a great tip

Wow, the Hedrick has HEAVY Popul Vuh vibes...
Most certainly!

You’re welcome! Everyone I have sent it to has loved it. I’ve come across two vinyl copies, you could likely find one online at no great cost.
