Free Music Review: Essential Work, great work, and fun work give it 6 stars
Hit: 5 Stars
It is something of a crime that of all the music JLL recorded during his Mercury Smash years, only the country ballads charted and entered the memory of the broader cultural maintstream. Because the rock and roll he was doing when he was doing it then was among the better stuff anyone ever recorded (see his London Session Album for example).Having said that I realize that those ballads Another Place, What Made Milwakee Famous, She Even Woke Me Up, Once More with Feeling, and Middle Age Crazy, are simply masterpieces. The range, maturity, and feeling he put into them will make them last forever.
The other cuts on this album include some great stuff, particularly if you are into the entire JLL experience, because he lets himself go and be himself in a lot of the less serious cuts, shows what can be done in mixing wildness, wisdom and yes Rock and Roll. Working Man's blues is a real work of art and gives you the idea that perhaps that Jimmie Burton who played the guitar on Haggard's version of the tune and on JLL's (and I am not sure probably produced the cut as he did several later JLL records) is the person this song really belongs to.
If you like this, you ought to find the complete Mercury recordings that include some of the greatest cuts of rock and roll, blues, and both hot and cold country amid JLL's typical wildness, vanity, and various not so bright ideas by Mercury.
Or if you want the real Lewis Experience, see if you can find the two live Albums he did for Smash: The Greatest In the years these records came out, there is no doubt that JLL was one of the greatest artists doing rock and roll, country, and blues.
This is JLL 30 years ago. That he is still out there rocking now that he is in his late sixties says something great (although it also speaks to his inability to get along with the IRS LOL)
