BEFORE I FORGET

Jon Lord worked on this album still being a member of Whitesnake, so you can easy feel band's influence in album's music. Many WS musicians are on the list there as well. From other side, he had more than enough space for his keyboards there, and used his old love to classics, especially JS Bach as well.

You can expect quite eclectic music from such combination of influences, and you will be right. In fact, there are three kind of songs: blues-rock and AOR, often with vocals, in the key of Whitesnake, some classic compositions reworked for electronic keyboards and supported rock band, and few r'n'b compositions in the vein of old great r'n'b bands.

Music sounds more as collection of different genres, than regular album, it's true. Plus there you will hardly find something really new. Lord has a better albums, it's for sure. But if you like Jon's Hammond passages still from early Deep Purple years, and can enjoy really good old blues rock and r'n'b, you will like this album.

So, as I told in very beginning - this is good album for dedicated listener.
