Masterpiece of Blues Rock.......2004-12-07

John Lawton is a VERY under rated talent in the Rock World. Most known for his work with Lucifer's Friend and Uriah Heep as the Lead Singer in both groups, John is also a Bandleader and lead songwriter; he also plays a mean acoustic/rhythm Guitar. This project came after his last stint in Lucifer's Friend on the CD Sumogrip and a project of his own called Gunhill. Gunhill was a band that featured a more Whitesnake oriented sound with songs that were covertunes and orginals penned by John and members of Gunhill. I have Night Heat which I consider to be an absolutely essential release for anyone who likes rock with a melodic edge sung by a singer with an ear for melody. Still Paying My dues was put out in 2000 by John and it features material that has a more "bluesy" flavor with a hint of Free/Bad Company. There are 12 very well written tunes on offer here with John having written or co-written most of them. The whole CD is excellent, but personal favorites include the title track, Tomorrow, Soldiers of fortune, Fool's game, and the best track on the CD Tonight. I cannot recommend the CD highly enough, it is that good. Great for a romp in your favorite sports car or even when you want to ease it back a bit by a cozy fire. John Lawton is a very talented but under appreciated musician, buy this disc and you can see for yourself how great he is! Hard to find, but well worth the search!!!

It Isn't for Heep Fans.......2002-01-31

The cd is a good trip in a blues world, but for me is not a good music for the vocal of Jonh Lawton, if you are a fan of UH understend what I mean.

John Has Paid His Dues.......2000-09-13

Still Payin' My Dues To The Blues is possibly John Lawton's finest musical work. I personally think it is a blues masterpiece. After many listens, it is still just as fresh as the first listen. I have listened to it 5 times in a row on road trips with my wife in the car. She loves it too. If you like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, you'll love this album. I highly recommend it. Of course, it is a must for all Uriah Heep fans.

I have listened to it 5 times in a row on a road trip, and my wife lets me. She loves this album too. I highly recommend this album to all fans of the blues style. If you like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, you'll love this album. This is of course a must for all Uriah Heep fans.
