Free Music Review: Long John's best
Hit: 5 Stars
I first saw LJB in a local club in West London in 1964. In those days he was the main man and a moody young guy with a big nose sang when Long John wanted to take a break. His name was Rod Stewart- I wonder what happened to him?. Another of John's sidekicks, Reg Dwight, changed his name to Elton John (the John was in honor of Baldry) and I believe had some success in later years.
This album dates from the early 70s, after LJB had been to the big time singing MOR and come back down to earth with a bump. It was produced by Rod and Elton (one side each in the days when discs had two sides) and contains some of John's best singing. 'The King of Rock & Roll' is an obvious highlight, but 'Black Girl' is great and 'I'm Ready' and 'It Ain't Easy' are my favorites on a CD which is all good. After this, he made some albums in England which weren't big sellers. He had a breakdown and moved to Canada, where he made good albums regularly but without much commercial success.
The CD isn't quite as the album was originally issued (the duet with Rod on a song called 'Mother Ain't Dead' is omitted for some reason), but the bonus tracks make up for it. If you like John Baldry, or good blues and rock singing, then this is an album to savor.
