Long Live Rock 'n' Roll is an album every bit as good as its predecessors and in some ways better. While Rising contained two masterpieces in Stargazer and Light In The Black, some of the shorter songs had an "outtake" feel to them. The 1975 debut suffered from Elf playing workmanlike behind the two obvious stars, Blackmore and Dio.
Long Live Rock and Roll, however, rocks from start to finish. The title track has been criticized by some, but never was there a better bluesy shuffle. Lady of The Lake crushes you with its powerful, Zeppelin-ish riff, mystical lyrics, and a slide guitar solo so smooth that one reviwer thought it was a synthesizer. On to LA Connection, another bluesy number telling the tale of why Tony Carey left the band.
