Free Music Notes for Rock Me BabyFree Music Review: Another fabulous SOLO album Hit: 5 Stars
Released in late 1972, David Cassidys second solo had a slight mature approach than CHERISH, yet both are brilliant. Like a lot of Davids Albums he always have different styles of songs whether up-tempo beat or ballads. And he polishes them off well. Highlights for me are How Can I Be Sure (A Number 1 here in the UK back in 1972) Two Time Loser (What an amazing track!) Soft As A Summer Shower and Song Of Love. The sound quality is really outstanding. The master source was probably in pristine condition. Also released are The Partridge Family CDs CROSSWORD PUZZLE and SHOPPING BAG at the same time as ROCK ME BABY. News on certain Partridge/Cassidy websites are that BULLETIN BOARD and UNRELEASE SONGS may be due out sometime this year and possibly the rest of the Davids solo albums by ARISTA; I wonder if that also includes a reissue of the ROMANCE CD. Its fantastic that in recent years David Cassidy/Partridge Family albums are NOW being RELEASE on CD. It is way long overdue considering these albums have not been available for many, many years perhaps since the vinyl age!! If you like David Cassidy material buy this one, you will not be disappointed!
Free Music Review: David Cassidy -- Remastered Splendor! Hit: 5 Stars
This is the second of David Cassidy's solo albums, during his PF years. I like it much better than the first, "Cherish." His collaborations with Kim Carnes (Bette Davis Eyes) are absolutely beautiful. "How Can I Be Sure" and "Rock Me Baby" were huge hits for him, however it is the other songs on this album that make it really worth the purchase. Notably "Song For A Rainy Day", which David has never performed since, and is certainly too good a composition to go unnoticed. "Warm My Soul", which was originally a PF song, but deemed to "rock" oriented, is here, along with David's own composition, "Two Time Loser." I certainly hope that Arista/BMG releases the other two in the Cassidy/Bell catalog; "Cassidy Live", and the tremendous "Dreams Are Nothin' More Than Wishes" to follow this release, which was delayed two years!!It would also be great to have a 2CD set of ALL of the songs on the PF show that NEVER showed up on any lp at all. There are easily enough to fill two CDs, so hopefully we can purchase those treasures one day as well. For the time being, grab this release, you will be glad you did.
Free Music Review: still good in 2003, still listening to it, Hit: 5 Stars
this is one of his top 2 records , the other being cherish' the songs are good , his voice is at his best and still after all these yrs they still sound brand new.From the slow one's to the fast one's this is a great record, 'oh no no ' is one song that sticks out that highlites his singing and to this day his voice has been underrated, 'how can I be sure' is a great song that David has made his own song even tho he didnt write it.'Song for a rainy day' is great song that just takes you to that moment and reminds you of your lost love, This record was released in 1972, here it is 2003 and he is still going strong with a few bumps in the road but who has'nt!,this is a record to put on and drink some wine and remember just how much you love your wife or girlfriend.
Free Music Review: Rock Me Baby - By Laura Lambert , Maidstone Kent UK Hit: 5 Stars
I must admit the second album released by David Cassidy "Rock Me Baby" has got a more grittier feel to it and shows off David's voice range. It amazes me that he can go from singing a rocking song like the title track "Rock Me Baby" to the lovely ballads which are on the album. My favourite tracks on the album are most certainly the title track and Lonely Too Long, in fact I like all the tracks on this album and I can't wait to purchase more of DC's albums in the future, when money permits it.
As someone who has rediscovered David Cassidy I must of been mad not to buy this album when it came out in the seventies, but now I know what I missed in the seventies. It goes to show what a vast range that DC had and in fact still has.
Free Music Review: Thanks for releasing this!!! Wonderful!! Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great album. I'd just like to plead with David Cassidy to PLEASE curtail the endless legal wranglings that have blocked so many original recordings like this from being released and just let the fans enjoy more of these wonderful albums from the 70's. I'd love to also purchase:"Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Wishes"/"The Higher They Climb"/ "Home Is Where The Heart Is." Also, the Partridge Family "Bulletin Board" features some amazing David Cassidy vocals. He may not be the nicest guy-especially to his fans-but boy, can he sing or what? His vocal talents have always been absolutely amazing. "Rock Me Baby" illustrates just what an underappreciated vocal talent David Cassidy was back in the 70's.
