This review is from: Long John's Blues/Looking at Long John (Audio CD)

If you want some real British R&B/Blues, look no further. Even though Baldry was mostly famous for the novelty song "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll," he was way more substantial than that. From the "Looking at Long John" section, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" and "Make it Easy on Yourself" are solid covers of American pop hits, then he gets down to the real nitty-gritty with classics from Bobby Bland, "Turn on Your Lovelight" and a version of "Ain't Nothing You Can Do" that would make Van Morrison smile. When he gets to "Long John's Blues," it's the real blues, with songs by Muddy Waters, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker and others, that I'm sure those artists would appreciate. His own tune, "Rock The Joint," closes the disc, and that's what this disc will do for you when you play it.
