One of the unsung jewels of the British R&B scene, Long John's Blues is, astonishingly, the sole surviving document of what was, at one point, among the most exciting live acts on the entire circuit. Baldry himself was dynamite, with a grasp of blues singing that left his contemporaries foundering. His takes on "Got My Mojo Working", "Dimples" and "Hoochie Coochie Man" alone are worth the price of admission, no matter how many other versions you may own, while "My Times Are Getting Tougher Than Tough" and, best of all, "Everyday I Have The Blues" pack a punch that reminds us just what great musicians Baldry surrounded himself with, former Cyril Davies All Stars veterans Jeff Bradford and Cliff Barton among them. An excellent sleeve photo, stylishly Mod as only Long John could be, completed the original vinyl package, but even in the record's later incarnation, as part of a two-fer CD, with the sleeve barely visible, Long John's Blues stands proud among the most essential British blues albums of them all. ~ Dave Thompson, All Music Guide
