The music business is littered with exceptional talent that never achieves due reconition. Years of graft just never pay off. Danny O'Keefe is one of these artists.To be fair, he did have some success at the beginning of his career with'Goodtime Charlie's Got The Blues', a song covered by many at the turn of the '70's and had other songs covered by more mainstream artists.

But it was fleeting and he became relegated to the ranks of those who put out constant flow of great albums to an ever diminishing level of interest.However, he did have an advantage over many others in that he had major label support with Atco, Atlantic and Warner Bros. This reflects that those in the know did appreciate his talent.In addition to being an excellent tunesmith, he also added his own incisive lyrics to the themes of love and relationships.

In 'Junkman' he directs his venom at the drug dealer, but for me the highpoint of this album is 'Mad Ruth-The Babe'. A song of love set againt the ball game and in particular, Babe Ruth. A truly great song.On all his albums, O'Keefe lightens the mood with a few fun songs, usually to a rock 'n' roll beat or a bit of boogie. Here, 'Steppin' Out Tonight' and'If Ya Can't Boogie, Woogie (You Sure Can't Rock And Roll)' fulfill this role. Great fun and titles the tell you exactly what the song is about.One advantage of recording for a major is that you get to make well produced albums with top shelf musicians. No exception here, with a band that includes Donny Hathaway, drummer Burnard Purdie, percussionist Airto, jazz bassist Richard Davis, Dr John, the great guitarist David Bromberg and even the producer Arif Mardin.This really is a terrific album showcasing O'Keefe's own idiosyncratic songwriting. Great tunes with meaningful lyrics make this a must get album.

Its a pity that his career stalled after the wonderful'Global Blues' in 1979 and that he did not make another album until 1999's 'Runnin' From The Devil'. There is now a new album, 'Don't Ask' about to be released.Mad Ruth-The BabeKeep listening!!!Link in comments.
