Free Music Notes for It Ain't Easy
Free Music Review: Contravening a breach of the Peace
Hit: 5 Stars
Sadly coinciding with the death of LJB, this is as good as it gets.
I've had the vinyl for some 25 years and played it until it screamed "no more!"
Eclectic Baldry...sort of a Dave Van Ronk of the English scene jumps from Blues to Folk without a hitch.
The infamous "Don't Lay No Boogie Woogie" has a splendid Piano
track but for my money there is simply nothing like Willie Dixon's "I'm Ready." Ron Wood on Guitar and Sam Mitchell on slide
make this a signature piece copied by everyone from Aerosmith to George Thoroughgood and neither delivers the swagger and punch that Baldry does here.
Simply put. Worth every shilling.Rest gently, John.
Free Music Review: It Ain't Easy But It's Great!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Long John Baldry has been legendary since he began his journey through the Blues Clubs of Britain. His graveled vocals and hard hitting style have attracted some of the industries best known performers; all eager to do something, anything, with him. It Ain't Easy includes input from Rod Stewart, Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Madelene Bell (a.k.a. Marion Bell the female voice from Gimme Shelter). The story-telling and musical accompaniment are superb. The "drive" in his music is unmistakably angry and soft at the same time. Check it out. It's worth the price.Free Music Review: It Ain't Easy ~ Long John Baldry
Hit: 5 Stars
I have waited a long time for this DVD as it is one of my all time favorites from the 70's. This has some great classic bluesy rock & roll. Part of the collection was produced by Rod Stewart and the other part by Elton John.
Too bad they waited until John Baldry passed away before releasing it in the US.
Free Music Review: The finest Long John did
Hit: 5 Stars
Unavailable on CD for many years, this release was well worth the wait. My one complaint about the whole record is that Maggie Bell isn't given enough credit. Her unique vocals add a polish that would have made for a much more flat recording. The ultimate 60s British rock album.Free Music Review: morning morning
