David Cassidy Music:

Rock Me Baby Reviews:
Teen pop
2007-07-27 - As a kid I loved David Cassidy in the days before I discovered Leonard Cohen. Of course I also thought The Partridge Family were a hot band. I think that of these songs, Rock Me Baby, Go Now and How Can I Be Sure were all hits.

But I much prefer Soft As A Summer Shower, a truly beautiful atmospheric love song with great imagery. David had some catchy songs but over a whole album's length, his music is not that engaging.

I think The Partridge Family albums are a bit better as their catchy songs had more of a pop sensibility than David's often cumbersome ballads. I'm giving the album 3 stars for old time's sake.


A CD that sounds Better with age !
2003-05-03 - The second solo project for David Cassidy sounds better today than it did in 1972.

The production on this CD blends right into the current sound of POP/ROCK music.
You'll notice the notable roster of musical artists that assist Cassidy into delivering an above quality "BUBBLEGUM album" with a rock edge.

Warm My Soul, Mr Cassidy
2003-04-28 - When this LP came out in 1972, a new side to David Cassidy emerged. While still under the production of Bell Records and Wes Farrell, this Cassidy sophomore solo album was all acid-tinged rock with some funky, bluesy sexy attitude. Gone was the "ba, ba, ba's" of the Partridge backup singers and in its place was David's back-up singers from the concerts, which included Kim Carnes. This LP is yet to be re-released on CD(it's on pre-order and due out in May of 2003) and many fans including myself have actually emailed Buddha (the Arista/BMG conglomeration) to request it. In the 70's, I was an adolescent and even though I knew that DC was about 21 years old and a hard core rock'n'roll sex kitten, I loved his music. I expected this album to be "Cherish" part 2, and this is NOT it. Nonetheless, I feel now that this album captures David as an emerging sexual being: a superstar of gigantic proportions who was on the road pleasing (and I do mean pleasing) his fans. This album has some deliciously decadent moments: "Two Time Loser" (a beautiful ballad written by David Cassidy), "Song For A Rainy Day," and "Lonely Too Long" show an emotional range far beyond his 21 years. Cassidy is heart-wrenchingly emotional on this album and unapologetically croons his way through songs such as "Warm My Soul" (originally recorded for "Up To Date"-the 2nd Partridge Family album-but deemed too wild), "Rock Me Baby," and "Song of Love." There are some beautiful ballads here too: "Some Kind of a Summer," "Soft As A Summer Shower," and "How Can I Be Sure." One can definitely see Cassidy evolving from the "Cherish" album to "Rock Me Baby," and in the 70,s, I wasn't ready for him to evolve. However, as I grew older, I returned to this album many times because of the raw emotion of this beautiful man. David Cassidy has never received the critical acclaim that he should have; however, this man is just too "pretty" to be seen as the talent that he is. When you listen to "Rock Me Baby" (which I am still playing on LP until the CD arrives), you will understand the man behind the boy with the beautifully-coiffed hair and the tight sexy jeans. If you want the full Cassidy collection, you have got to purchase this album.
