"CITYCHILD"
USA - LONDON RECORDS - PS 642 (PROMOTIONAL)
Original 1974 PROMOTIONAL ADVANCED PREVIEW COPY ... RARE second LP by the greatest of SAVOY BROWN's front men ... Chris Youlden's voice was what made prime era '68 - 70 Savoy Brown albums so enjoyable
..
Some of the tracks on CITYCHILD could have been contenders for 'Raw Sienna'. The scary 'Little Cog in a Big Wheel' with its almost sinister riff and the album closer 'It Ain't for Real' with its 'Boogie Nights' type riff is a 5-star tracks, while 'Spare Change' could have graced any SAvoy Brown album and benefits from nice guitar as well.
Chris Youlden has a legendary voice and was capable of writing classic blues-boom material. Here his second solo effort, found Youlden handling production duties. Self-produced, the album was more varied than his debut. While the bluesy "Little Cog In a Big Wheel", "Love and Pain" and "It Ain't for Real" recalled his Savoy Brown-styled roots, "Conjure Wife" was an out-out-out rocker, while "Born and Raised In the City" and "Keep Your Lamp Lit" were actually funky (in a Boz Scaggs kind of way). Best of the lot was the haunting ballad "Spare Change". Like the debut, the set went completely under the radar of would-be fans....
