Music reviews of Just Like This
Music Review: RONSON PUTS ON A ROCK & ROLL CLINIC!!
Rating: 5 Stars
"Just Like This" is a good name for this classic lost album. There wasn't anybody out there who could play rock and roll in it's pureist form like Mick. He may not have had quite the technical skills of the big name guitar players of the time, but he could teach them a thing or two about pizazz and the ability to give the people every little pleasing guitar hook their hearts desired. Not releasing "Just Like This" in 1976 when Ronson recorded this material may have been the biggest mistake that I've ever seen out of a record company. Supposedly his 2 previous solo efforts didn't sell well enough for his label, and so this material was sentenced to the vaults for 25 years, or until somebody gave it a reprieve and had the good taste to dust these tapes off and give them a hard listen. As it turned out, the third time was the charm. If your a guitar lover, this album wins hands down over anything that he did before or since. This music might me from the 70's, but the first time I listened to it, it felt so fresh and uncluttered by any kind of modern day effects. It's just straight up no-frills rock and roll. But his guitar work on songs like "I'd give anything to see you", "Hard Life", and "Crazy Love" makes these instant classics. The album doesn't let up at all. Every song here has some great hooks, and it has kind of a live feel to it like there wasn't very many overdubs or production work involved in the recording. I'm sure if this had been released at the time there would have been some more polishing up on this album, but I really like this raw feel, and the remastered sound is great here. I was lucky enough to get one of the early copies of this cd, that offered a second disc of these same songs with Ronson doing what was probably first takes. He also does an alternate ballad version of "Hard Life" and another killer version of "Id Give Anything To See You". And the last song on this disc "Ronno's Bar And Grill" is pretty much what sounds like a very tired Ronson reaching the end of the recording session with just a guitar in hand fiddling around with some old rock and roll tunes. I hope they're still offering the 8 song second disc. It's well worth having. If your a lover of 70's rock, don't pass this one up. It's a very satisfying listen from beginning to end. And a timeless classic.
