Title: John's Crowning Moment......
Review: I remember when this album was brand new. Still have my old vinyl copy, and a CD copy.It is too bad this record was not more successful than it was, because it would have put John in the spotlight he sorely deserves for his contributions to the Whitesnake album.But, what an album Blue Murder is. John pulls off some of the most unbelievable guitar work in 'Valley of the Kings', 'Out of Love Again', and especially 'Ptolemy'. 'Jelly Roll' still gets my foot tapping to this day, and I have worn this album OUT listening to it over the years.Most people expecting a song to follow typical form, don't bother with this album. The music is far more complex, but beautiful. John's writing seems very against the standard verse, chorus, verse, chorus, guitar solo, etc.Carmen Appice <sp> and Tony Franklin make this trio one of the most memorable of the end of the metal era.Thanks for all the music, John. 5 out of 5......you're truly one of the greatest.
