Music reviews of Whatever Turns You on
Music Review: Great powertrio turns you on
Rating: 5 Stars
This is really a wonderful, totally underrated album. Featuring some of Jack Bruce's finest bassplaying ever, and two of his greatest compositions, "November Song" and "Like A Plate". Whereas Leslie West shines on some Mountain-like heavy blues rockers like "Rock And Roll Machine". But it really is Jack's album, his multilayered vocals and distinct piano/keyboardstyle dominating the picture.
Although all three considers this time a lowpoint in their lives, due to heavy abuses of all sorts, it does not come through in the music which sounds inspired and subtle. From the classic powertriojam ending "Token", the Procol Harum like "Sifting Sand", with one of those powerful Leslie West gospelvocals ,over the delicious piano and guitarduo "Slow Blues" to the avantgardelike ending to "Like A Plate", clearly reflecting Jack's collaboration with Carla Bley on "Escalator Over The Hill".
Time to re-valuate this lost masterwork from a powertrio, that was far better than it's reputation.

Description of Whatever Turns You on
2008 digitally remastered edition of this classic Rock album from 1973, the second by the amazing power trio. Forming in 1972, the band brought together Cream bassist, vocalist and writer Jack Bruce with Leslie West and Corky Laing, both from the American band Mountain. Together, WBL recorded three albums, all of which demonstrated the group's power and dexterity. Following the release of their debut, Why Doncha? for CBS Records in Europe, the band moved to RSO Records to record this, their last studio album which featured such classics as "Scotch Krotch".
