Free Music Notes for Everything Stops for TeaFree Music Review: Keep Playin' That Rock And Roll! Hit: 5 Stars
The follow on album to "It Ain't Easy", ESFT is a masterpiece of British R&B inflected Rock n Roll. And Baldry was among the best at it. Unfortunately, you probably never heard anything from him that you would ever recognise.
No collection is complete without this album. No understanding of the music of the times in which this was produced is complete without including this album as a bell weather example of a man at the top of his game, and a master at his craft.
You can't listen to this album and not realise within 30 seconds that this guy should have gotten far more recognition than he was given. He deserves far more accolades than many of his less capable contemporaries who got all the "glory" in the midst of their talentless, soul-less noise some dared to actually consider "classic" rock n roll.
One listen to this and you will know the truth.
Free Music Review: Is there anything better out there? Hit: 5 Stars
Is there anything better out there? Sure, maybe, does it matter? My only knowledge of John Baldry was the commercial piece "Boogie Woogie" and the "Conditional Discharge" intro for the song. I surfed iTunes and Amazon and found this--one of the best bits of blues I've every heard. What I hear is 'American' Blues with a Brit twist coupled with incredible keyboards and guitar. Baldry wraps the blues in a unique 70's British presentation. Go ahead and listen--find as many influences as you can. The sound of all the old Blues guys in America are here, as well as some current ones--Rick Estrin of Little Charlie & the Nightcats, Curtis Salgado from Portland, Oregon must have gleaned something from Baldry. I am not a music reviewer or a writer, so it's difficult to put it all in to words. So, just listen to this CD. Enough said.
Free Music Review: the blues for your soul Hit: 5 Stars
i have just recently discovered john baldry while shopping for b.b. king. someone had misplaced it or maybe had placed it there for fellow blues fans. i looked at the back and saw the record was produced by rod stewart one of my all time favorites and elton john. i was very curious and had to have a listen. i must say i have never been so impressed by an album as i was with it ain't easy. everything stops for tea is the next step in a journey for anyone searching for the right kind of blues that you feel deep down within. i reccomend john baldry to everyone with a little bit of blues in their soul.
Free Music Review: Audio Orgasm Hit: 5 Stars
Just having recently rediscovered Long John's music, I was thrilled to again hear this classic. His humour, sensuality and zest for life is recorded for posterity. We miss you, John.

Excellent recording... It was a pleasure heard this record and "It Aint Easy" thirty years after I heard them first time. LJB was the best musician of english R&B.
