In fall of 1972 David Cassidy released his second solo album on Bell Records titled Rock Me, Baby. It was the "next step" in his new solo career, and it had a little more blues, and a little more rock and roll than the first album. Several hits came off of it including the title song, "Rock Me, Baby," and a cover of the Rascals' "How Can I Be Sure."
We get another song penned by David himself: "Two Time Loser" is a passionate expression with a heap of energy. Kim Carnes and Dave Ellingson, two good friends of David's throughout his entire life, both contribute to this album as well. "Some Kind of A Summer" is one of the greatest.
The album was a success, but even more in the U.K. where David was continuing to rise in popularity.
