Title: A Different Side of John Lawton?
Review: John Lawton is a singer who could sing the Phone book and make it exciting. This release features 10 songs circa 1980 with help from John's mates in Lucifer's Friend on writing and playing. The CD is VERY good, but there is a DEFINITE difference between the songs on offer for the first 10 trax and the 4 bonus selections. It is worth having because the vocalist has a phenomenal voice, the songs are up beat, and the bonus trax are exceptional. Persoanl favorite?? How about Let it Ride which smokes!! The whole cd is very well done and presents John Lawton's talents in a totally different light than the Rebel/Zar release (metal/hard Rock) or Still Paying my dues which is blues rock ala Free or Bad Company. John's own material with Steve Dunning is my own favorite but they all are worth owning and this gem is a must if you can find it!!! Give it a spin, you will be glad you did!!!
