James Hogg –Lovely Lady Rock


James Hogg –Lovely Lady Rock/Happy Sad –Regal Zonophone RZ 3054 (1972 UK)

Produced by Chris Thomas, Lovely Lady Rock was the first of three singles released by James Hogg (AKA Robert Ashong) on Regal Zonophone. The song itself depends heavily on its high riff content and the neo-Rockabilly cum Hard Rock/Tough Glam approach. It’s a great hard hitting rocker, although perhaps lacking a chorus as the track is full frontal with no real melodic relief. The B side is another tight rocker very much in a similar vein.

The other singles are great. Only California Blues is a bit too predictable

He Was singing words he made up while doing the single ,they go
I wanna tell you people that ime trying to get across
each time i try i lose a lot

The demon has a key now ,if he takesa us through distructions doors
we'll never find hope ,anymore
