"Just listen to record man-it speaks for itself.", December 12, 2008
Quote Robert Gordon. I've read this disc was culled from Robt's Tuff Dart years and perhaps he considers this not one of his better releases. He'd said the lyrics were a bit sadistic as in attacked, seduced & abandoned and also, you stepped in it now. May be, but to hear him sing "you must be one sick bitch to do those things you do" cracks me up. I like it, and in all think this is one of his better releases. This is more of a harder rock tinged departure from the rockabilly we all love. But Robert can do alot more than one nitch and thats the joy hearing the range of his rich melodic voice. As usual the sidemen are all top notch, very good rock n roll that will beg you to crank it up.

a lost oportunity, April 7, 2005
This review is from: All for the Good of Rock & Roll (Audio CD)
this is the worst thing you could expect from robert gordon. that album is composed with old rejected tunes from RCA prior to the "Are you gonna be the one?" album and other songs who knows from where. Even incredible ace guitarist Danny Gatton plays in some tune but don't expect nothing from that songs. There are no rockin' guitars, no rockabilly songs, only rock music and some kind of ...I don't know whow to describe, because I couldn't heard it more than two times, hoping that maybe I could have lost something in the first listening. The only thing that save me to throw that record to the trashcan (with all my respect to the music because I bought it),is the wonderful and marvelous cover of Jack Scott's "Goodbye Baby", the only thing that reminds me, for sure, that Robert Gordon still is the greatest rockabilly vocalist since the fifties, without exception.That kind of covers suits very well in the creative interpretations of Robert Gordon, because his voice match, even, in some cases, the original tunes.

Robert Gordon (not the Pro Football player!) has a good debut LP here. And Jon Brant of Siren and Cheap Trick also helped!, June 1, 2006
Jon played Bass on this and co-wrote two songs with Gordon, when he lived in New Jersey back in the early '90's after the death of 'Red Siren'. Very good effort here for Indie strange looking dude, Jerseyite, Gordon. Yes, Virginia, he does it ALL for the Love of Rock and Roll!
