Long John Baldry - You Cant Judge A Book By The Cover

Review by Katrin Klug

Long John Baldry's album "You Can't Judge a Book By The Cover" is a true masterpiece in the blues genre. The album features a collection of 14 tracks, each of which showcases Baldry's exceptional vocal range and his mastery of the blues.

From the opening track "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll" to the closing track "Black Girl," the album takes the listener on a journey through the history of the blues. Baldry's raw and soulful voice is perfectly complemented by the skillful instrumentation of his backing band, creating a sound that is both powerful and authentic.

Standout tracks on the album include "Everyday I Have the Blues," a classic blues tune that Baldry infuses with his own unique style, and "Going Down Slow," a slow and mournful ballad that showcases Baldry's ability to convey deep emotion through his singing.
