When We're Singin'

Day 13: Rock Me, Baby

John MillerComment

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.
