Clayton 1977

View Project

Jeremiah Rickert Writes: This is probably my favorite David Clayton-Thomas solo album. Most of the songs are Clayton-Thomas originals, and they're really cool cuts, especially "Laying Down Rock and Roll," "Fooled Ya," "Sweet Sixteen," and "Professor Longhair." The guest musicians include both of the Breckers, David Sandborn, and veterans of Lighthouse Bob McBride and Keith Jollimore. A great record! "Laying Down Rock and Roll," would make a great BS&T tune. on Jul 30, 13
